North Sea-focused operator Independent Oil & Gas has appointed Paul Murray as a non-executive director.
Mr Murray is a founding shareholder in the company, which is developing the Blythe and Skipper fields.
He started his career at Mobil North Sea as a petroleum engineer, and worked in various commercial roles at Lasmo from 1988 until its sale to ENI in 2001.
He currently serves audit committee chairman at Royal Mail and Qinetiq.
“I have been keen to return to the oil and gas industry for some time and the board and executive team of IOG have convinced me that their ambition to grow into a significant development and production company is eminently achievable,” said Mr Murray.
“I believe my experience in helping Lasmo grow into a FTSE 100 company along with more recent roles as a corporate advisor will be invaluable to IOG during this exciting phase in the company’s development.”
Chief executive Mark Routh said: “We all share the same ambition to grow IOG into a significant profitable company and look forward to working with Paul along with the rest of the team to take IOG to the next level.”
