Global oil firm Neptune Energy has brought in a new managing director for Norway from oil giant Shell.
Odin Estensen will join Neptune from Norske Shell, where he’s currently employed as the firm’s Norway operated asset manager.
Mr Estensen has more than 28 years in the oil and gas sector having worked with both Schlumberger and Shell in Europe, while supporting operations in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
In his role as managing director, Mr Estensen will be based in Stavanger.
Jim House, CEO of Neptune Energy, said: “I am delighted that Odin will be joining Neptune as he has a deep understanding of Norway’s oil and gas sector and proven experience working with strategic partners.”
“Having just completed the acquisition of VNG Norge AS, it’s an exciting time for Odin to join Neptune and lead our Norwegian business into the next stage of growth.
“I would like to thank Anne for the stewardship she has provided since April and, in particular, her leadership of the integration teams involved with the VNG Norge organisation and business assets. We value her dedication to our business and she will continue to provide key leadership to our legal teams”.
Anne Botne, currently interim country director of Norway for Neptune, will remain with the company and fully resume her head of legal responsibilities.
