88 Energy has hired a new drilling and management specialist to oversee its operations at Project Icewine in Alaska.
Erik Opstad, who most recently worked for Savant Alaska, previously negotiated the acquisition of the Badami field from BP.
Dave Wall, managing director of 88 Energy, said: “Local experience cannot be underestimated, particularly when operating in a unique environment such as Alaska.
“Eric brings a wealth of knowledge and experience plus a deep local network, which has already resulted in the identification of cost savings in the order of several million dollars.”
