Ikke noe interessant, men Malcy har også fått med seg at WRL har fått ny CEO:

"Wentworth Resources has announced that it has hired Eskil Jersing as its new CEO to fill the shoes of Geoff Bury. Jersing resigned from Sterling Energy last year so I suppose has the advantage of being readily available to start at WRL. I look forward to meeting with Mr Jersing as he is in an interesting position given that WRL is so strongly positioned at the moment."

Peel Hunt er en investeringsbank og et meglerhus. De er ikke et selskap som strukturerer data rommet eller gjennomfører en farmout. De kan være flinke til det som er deres ekspertise (jeg kjenner dem ikke), men å tro at det er dem som skal få Tembo farmet ut er nok å være litt vel optimistisk.

Personlig tror jeg det er mye viktigere å velge riktig CEO enn riktig finansiell rådgiver. Det er akkurat nå (og stort sett alltid ellers) at det er viktig å ha en god CEO for å stake ut og implementere riktig strategi. Om det ikke er så viktig, burde de jo sparke stort sett alle ansatte, og la investeringsbanken ta over. Da ville i hvertfall kostnadene vært mindre, og de kunne betalt utbytte (en stund).

Kjenner ikke til navnet, men det virker som en solid type med rik erfaring i kombinasjon med teknisk innsikt.

Stoler på styret har plukket rett mann i rett stilling.
Han kommer på mange måter til dekket bord og en spennende tid i vente de neste par år.

Geoffs manglende oljeekspertise har blitt påpekt fra flere hold gjennom mange år.
Styrken er at han, i motsetning til Bob, beholdt roen gjennom tiden med tanzaniansk kommunikasjons tullball.
Tiden var nå moden for forandring og jeg stoler på at styret har gjort et godt valg.

En Sterling Energy skribent kommenterte etter avgangen at det bare var å se på Eskil Jersings CV, så skjønte man at han ikke ville bli lenge. Akkurat det kan passe Mcbean (f. 28.01.1944), Neul Kelly og en del nesten-geriatriske aksjonærer bra.

Det mest påfallende med CV'en hans, er at han, etter tiden i Shell, har stått særdeles kort tid i hver stilling. 1-1,5 år og så har det vært over på noe nytt.

Kan vi konkludere med at WRL er solgt innen 2020 da..?

Tror CEO har mest betydning for selskapet. Aksjehandel bryr seg bare om hvordan andre handler. Øretrillere og algoritmer.

Jeg kjenner ikke til ny CEO fra før, men jeg går ut i fra at styret vet hva de gjør når de har valgt å ansette ham. Jeg forutsetter også at han har satt seg grundig inn i selskapet og hvilke muligheter som ligger der før han takket ja til jobben.

Tror ikke det har veldig mye å si hvem som er CEO fremover. Nå har de Peel Hunt til å hjelpe med farm out og økningen av kunder knyttet til pipen på Mnazi går sin gang. Blir det funn på Tembo vil det sikkert være nyttig å ha en bra ledelse i forhold til hvordan de skal utvikle feltet videre.

joergen,

etter det du har sett og lest så langt, er du positiv, negativ eller avventende til ham som ny CEO? Vi får håpe det blir et velfungerende styre, og det blir jo interessant å se hvordan han vil sette preg på selskapet. Tror det er godt å få nye koster inn, så får vi se hva som kommer ut av det.

Jeg tipper han gikk lei:

This Company has a poor record when it comes to exploration success and should invest its
millions elsewhere instead of throwing down some useless oil non events.
They would create more shareholder value by investing in JVs with successful oil producers in
the small to medium enterprisers.This BOD have big ideas but small brains when it comes to
business.
The one oil producing investment they have an interest in has been going downhill for the past
Five years and will continue to do so regardless of the excuses for declining production.
There are plenty of opportunities out there in what is increasing prices for oil combined with an
Increase in market demand currently so SEY get your act together.
We shareholders are loosing patience with paying out good salaries to a BOD that has shown
little return for shareholders and share value for too many years.
Today’s News Release proves the point.

Det blir godt å få inne en fagmann på toppen. Sterling er et selskap med en market cap på omtrent 30 millioner pund, så de er jo av sammenlignbar størrelse. De har jo ikke hatt en særlig god kursutvikling de siste årene, så vi får håpe Jersing får mer ut av WRL enn han fikk til med Sterling. Men akkurat den stituasjonen har jo mange mindre oljeselskaper vært i gjennom de siste par årene.

http://www.lse.co.uk/ShareChart.asp?sharechart=SEY&share=sterling_energy

Får han farmet ut Tembo og får litt klarere mål for strategi og markedet, bli det bra. Så det var nok en grei utnevnelse, så får vi se hva han får til.

In my 27 years as an E&P professional, I have rarely come across a colleague as talented and skilled as Eskil. He displays disciplined and thoughtful leadership, maturity, a strong work ethic, and a commitment to technical and commercial excellence. He tackles complex subsurface and above-ground problems creatively and from multiple angles to ensure that the timeliest and most valuable solution is delivered. He is a pleasure to work with and received the highest accolades from his peers and his direct reports. He is also a highly experienced geoscientist with a wealth of knowledge who taught me a thing or two. I welcome the opportunity to work with Eskil again.

Eskil is a true people person and has been a pleasure to work with over the past few years. He has an acute business sense, developed from a broad knowledge of both subsurface and above-ground issues, and a keen understanding of the history and politics of the petroleum industry across a large part of the globe. His deep knowledge base results in the enviable ability to rise above mere detail and see the big picture. Esk's innate ability to work outside his comfort zone, streamline decision making by cutting to the heart of complex business issues, and communicate simple, line-of-sight business plans at both executive level and down the line is a key aspect of his leadership style. He continually strives for improvement, leading by example, and has an extraordinary ability to empathise with his staff, quickly and calmly defusing tensions and resolving conflicts in novel and interesting ways. Simply one of the best leaders I have had the pleasure of working with in my quarter-century career, he is one of the petroleum industry's rising stars. Good luck Esk!

I had the great opportunity of working for Eskil when he was Conventional New Ventures Manager for Marathon. Eskil's ability to identify complex critical issues at a glance, correctly frame them and explain with simplicity, allows his team and others to see value opportunities where most would not. He is an outstanding leader, having mental flexibility, motivation and technical skills that allows him to mobilize, inspire and coordinate multidisciplinary teams efficiently. Eskil's greatest strengths was his versatility and adaptability in being able to apply his technical and leadership strengths to an ever widening scope of situations quickly. I greatly enjoyed working with Eskil and highly recommend him. 9/2010

Eskil was a key person in the formative years as an exploration geologist, instilling in me a lot of the skills I use now. He was always able to foster a healthy challenge-support atmosphere in the team and in our relationship and teamed me up with experienced explorers to help me to rise quickly up the learning curve. He helped me always focus on the business implications of my work and focus on the bottom line rather than gold-plating my work. I admire his drive, energy and focus and how he developed a team ethic and would be happy to work with him anytime.

I was fortunate to work with Eskil for 4 years on growth projects in Brazil. Eskil is an outstanding geoscientist and new ventures manager who uses his breadth of experience and depth of knowledge to excellent effect from regional to detailed prospect scale. His ability to recognise value means he moves much faster than most to logical and practical solutions. Eskil has a phenomenal workrate and tremendous bandwidth in multitasking and expects (and gets) top quality work from his team and colleagues. With all that he finds time to listen and is an excellent manager of people as well as projects. He has little patience with timewasters and maintains the highest standards of integrity - don't expect him to pull his punches. I have no hesitation in recommending Eskil.

I have worked alongside Eskil for 17 years on a great variety of Exploration project types in varied hydrocarbon basins around the world. Eskil remains one of the most productive, pragmatic, flexible and focused Explorers I have encountered. His combination of high energy levels, ability to distill critical issues, ability to leverage other people’s strengths and a very strong `can do` attitude enable Eskil to consistently deliver results beyond everyone’s expectations. Eskil is also an immensely popular Leader – fun, high energy, enthusiastic and motivational with strong business conviction – a winning combination. Eskil is much missed by his ex-team at Shell.

I have worked with with Eskil on various transactions in Brazil and Gulf of Mexico and I consider him to be one of the most genuine and insightful people I've got to work with. Eskil is well versed in many subjects - and he gladly shares his knowledge. He's observant, naturally curious, insightful, result-oriented and quite inspiring. Eskil possesses a wealth of experience, which would benefit any team and at the same time he appreciates the diversity of thought and brings up the fun side in any project.
