Here's a little about LB's history ...... LOOKS GOOD TO ME ;-)

Larry Anthony Bottomley (53) has worked in the oil and gas industry for over 30 years and has a significant track record of building exploration and production businesses on the international stage, delivering transformational growth and shareholder value. During his career, Larry has worked across a broad spectrum of exploratory and business development roles worldwide and has a strong background in integrated geosciences, team management and relationship building. A key aspect of his work has been in the creation and delivery of work programmes that in turn have led to the discovery and development of giant oil fields.

Larry is currently Vice President of Exploration with Perenco SA where he established exploration as a fundamental part of that company's growth programme by developing an exploration strategy, building a team and instituting technical standards to identify, access and prepare a sustainable and successful drilling portfolio. Through executing this strategy Perenco entered Brazil, Iraq, Australia and Belize and re-built its exploration portfolio in Gabon, Turkey and Cameroon. In this role, Larry created a four year, 45 well drilling inventory, implemented risk management procedures and oversaw exploration operations in 12 countries.

Larry started his career as a Geophysicist working for Scott Pickford and Associates Ltd, Getty Oil (UK) Ltd and Ultramar Exploration Company (UK) Ltd. In 1986 he joined BP as a Geophysicist, where over the next eight years he worked in a number of roles, becoming Project Leader of the Mars Play Fairway in deepwater Gulf of Mexico in 1992. Here, he rebuilt BP's exploration model developing a programme which led to a number of discoveries including Danger Horse. During his tenure at BP, he also acquired acreage and was involved in giant discoveries in Colombia.

Following his time at BP, Larry worked with Triton Energy Limited as Exploration Manager of Europe, Africa and the Middle East (from 1994 to 1997) and was subsequently Vice President of the Technical Division (from 1997 to 1998) and was instrumental in the Ceiba discovery in Equatorial Guinea. He then went onto manage the world-wide exploration portfolio of British-Borneo plc which was subsequently sold to ENI, before joining Hunt Oil plc in 2000. At Hunt Oil, Larry held the position of Vice President of International Exploration and then Business Development. Here he redirected the frontier exploration strategy of the company, focusing on basins with giant potential and world class source systems, and implementing a technically driven new venture and business development process. This resulted in Hunt developing a new portfolio of investment opportunities which included acquiring deepwater acreage offshore Namibia.

Larry has an MSc. in Stratigraphy from Birkbeck College, University of London and a BSc. in Geology from Imperial College, University of London. He is an Associate of the Royal School of Mines, a Fellow of the Geological Society, a Member of the American Association of Petroleum Geology and a Member of the Petroleum Exploration Society of Great Britain.

I personally believe this is a very good move i.e. 'a real oil man' - lets see what the markets think ;-)

Ware already below cash.

At the end of the day the previous directors haven't done the share price any favors over the last 3 years.
So better that they have gone.

[stockriser] 20/12/2012 08:01

It was only on the 6th Nov that this was said - Perhaps PW thought LB's experience should be recognised even more so ;-)

People will have had time to take a view if they have been working on moving on for their own benefits to pastures new. This looks quicker, forced, something more interesting... IMV

[ronan7] 20/12/2012 07:40

[tunnelking] 20/12/2012 07:25

Wonder how the market will view this?

[triples] 19/12/2012 20:18

Over a million sells today and around 300k of buys, yet the price just traded at 27.75p for most of the day. Strange day and strange trading.

[ronan7] 19/12/2012 19:12

yep on xmas eve

you saw it first here

[hdenandy] 19/12/2012 16:58

Will this share ever get above 28p again ?

[triples] 19/12/2012 14:12

Short Interest per the chart above has been falling, so could be OAM buying. Ironic, eh?

[newswseller] 19/12/2012 14:07

My thoughts are BG winding down position by year end and OAM is the buyer.

[ronan7] 19/12/2012 13:35
