Warrego Energy (WGO) has appointed David Biggs as CEO of its Australian operations, effective from August 1.
David will report to Group CEO and Managing Director Dennis Donald as well as lead Warrego’s Perth-based team.
This team is focusing on commercialising the company’s interest in the West Erregulla gas field, progressing the EPA-0127 permit in Western Australia, and pursuing further exploration opportunities.
David has more than 35 years experience in the oil and gas sector, and has worked for large and small-scale organisations across Australia, New Zealand, the U.K., the Americas, Africa, Indonesia, and the Middle East.
Most recently, he was CEO of AWE and Cue Energy.
“David’s appointment materially enhances our Australian operations. We can now fully utilise his extensive network of domestic and international industry contacts as we develop our Western Australian assets,” Dennis said.
“His considerable experience and track record will prove invaluable during this busy phase of advanced negotiations for gas sales agreements and preparations for the exciting 2020/21 drilling campaign at West Erregulla,” he added.
David’s appointment will strengthen the leadership team and enable it to operate effectively in the COVID-19 environment, and allows multiple projects to be developed simultaneously.
Warrego has ended the day in the grey with shares trading for 17 cents each in a $141.3 million market cap.
