Eureka Energy has appointed former BP executive, Robert Willes, as the company's new CEO. 

 

Mr Willes came to Australia from England to take up the position of General Manager of BP’s North West Shelf LNG Project,  and also had overall accountability for BP’s interests in the Browse LNG and Greater Gorgon LNG projects, and for business development activities in the Asia Pacific.

 

Mr Willes is also found and do-director of Carbon Reduction Ventures Pty Ltd.

 

Eureka Energy is currently the target of an unconditional, on-market cash offer from Aurora Oil and Gas, and while that offer remains live, Mr Willes will act in the position on a casual basis, with a permanent contract to be negotiated at the end of the offer period if there is no change of control.
