OIL and gas veteran John Warrender has been appointed chief executive of Decom North Sea, the Aberdeen-based membership organisation for the oil and gas decommissioning sector.
Mr Warrender has more than 30 years’ domestic and international experience in the sector including in the strategic development of complex decommissioning programmes in the North Sea.
Most recently an independent adviser to the industry, he spent over 20 years with ConocoPhillips in a range of roles, including as general manager for upstream gas assets in the UKCS. He was also on the board of Repsol Sinopec as managing director for its subsidiary during a key transformative phase.
Nigel Lees, chairman of Decom North Sea’s board, said: “Using his considerable experience in performance management and board governance – together with a critical understanding of the requirements of a prominent industry trade association – John has the ability to ensure Decom North Sea meets the diverse needs of our members while enhancing collaboration with key stakeholders and the wider energy industry.
“In doing so, we can create a class-leading supply chain which can benefit from export opportunities to other basins.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
