Omega Oil and Gas advises that following an extensive executive search it has appointed Mr Trevor Brown as Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director (CEO and MD) to commence immediately.

Mr. Brown is a well-regarded and experienced oil and gas executive with over three decades of experience in the petroleum and gas industry. He is a geologist by training and has extensive expertise in upstream exploration, appraisal, development and production. His career has spanned across Australia, Asia, and the United States, encompassing onshore, offshore, conventional, and unconventional projects. In addition to his robust technical skills, Mr. Brown has held prominent leadership positions, including Vice President – Queensland for Santos, where he led the upstream division of the US$18.5 billion Gladstone Liquefied Natural Gas (GLNG) Project through the field development, construction and startup phases.

Omega’s Chairman, Stephen Harrison, welcomed Trevor on behalf of the Board:
“Trevor is an experienced oil and gas industry executive with exceptional commercial and technical expertise and a proven track record in project delivery, governance, and leadership. His skills will be crucial in advancing Omega’s vision to de-risk a multi-TCF play in the Southern Taroom Trough.

Securing a highly respected executive with Trevor’s extensive experience underscores the strong potential of Omega’s Canyon Gas Field project and its significant impact on Australia’s future gas supply.

The Board is delighted that Trevor has accepted the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, following his significant contributions as an Executive Advisor and Interim CEO. This appointment ensures continuity of leadership for Omega.”
