Nordic Energy has announced that founder and chief executive Rudolf Kleiber has left the company with immediate effect.
Energy Voice understands that Mr Kleiber, who set up the company in 2012 to explore opportunities in the North Sea, left last Friday.
In a statement, Nordic added: “The board of the company would like to thank Mr Kleiber for his contribution to Nordic and wishes him well with his future endeavours.”
The company has yet to name a replacement and chief operating officer Dr Kenneth Seymour will take up the reins as interim chief executive. Experienced oil and gas industry stalwart Iain Knott has been brought in to provide “leadership and technical expertise” the company said, as Nordic develops “its growing North Sea and North European portfolio”. Knott will join Dr Seymour and Pat Rocholl, chief financial officer on the board.
Nordic is listed on the ISDX Growth Market. In June it announced a non-binding heads of terms to acquire the entire issued share capital of an offshore UK oil and gas exploration company.
The company told investors it planned to build a complimentary portfolio of exploration and production assets that will provide Nordic with opportunities to drill multiple wells over the next 12-36 months.
