Apache Corporation has appointed a new North Sea boss to take over from Cory Loegering, who has retired.
Mr Loegering had been regional vice-president and managing director for the North Sea at Apache since June 2015, when he replaced James House.
Prior to his switch to Aberdeen, Mr Loegering was vice-president for the Gulf of Mexico region.
But Mr Loegering, 61, left his position as a director on April 1, according to a document published by Companies House.
A separate filing shows Apache North Sea appointed Jon Graham as a director on the same date.
Apache’s website says Mr Graham, 62, became managing director of Apache North Sea on March 31.
Houston-headquartered Apache today confirmed Mr Graham had replaced Mr Loegering.
The firm wished Mr Loegering well in retirement and said it looked forward to “continued success in the North Sea” under Mr Graham’s leadership.
Mr Graham joined the firm in 1994 as reservoir engineering manager in the Rockies region, having previously worked with Hunt Oil Co, Pacific Enterprises Oil Co, Santa Fe Minerals and Amoco.
He became Apache’s country manager in Argentina in June 2009, and was then selected as vice-president for environmental, health and safety in May 2011.
He holds a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Missouri-Rolla University and an MBA from Oklahoma University.
Mr Graham will be based in Aberdeen in his new role.
Apache entered the North Sea after acquiring the Forties field from BP in 2003. It bought the Beryl, Ness, Nevis, Nevis South, Skene and Buckland fields from ExxonMobil in early 2012.
The group recorded pre-tax losses of £1.3billion in 2016, an improvement on a deficit of £9.7billion in 2015.
It notched up revenues of £4.3billion in 2016.
