Aberdeen-based Repsol Sinopec UK has appointed a new chief operating officer.
Peter Medlam - who has more than 30 years of experience working in operations, maintenance and projects across the world - is stepping into the role following the promotion of Nicolas Foucart to chief executive.
The North Sea oil and gas production company is a joint venture between the Spanish Repsol and Chinese Sinopec.
Mr Medlam said: “I’m delighted to be appointed COO of Repsol Sinopec. It’s an interesting time to be part of the energy sector and I’m excited to have the opportunity to lead the safe and reliable operation of Repsol Sinopec’s nine producing offshore assets and Flotta Terminal.
“Despite the challenges facing our industry, our aim is to consistently deliver results and be a first-class operator across the full life-cycle of an asset.
“My focus is to deliver safe and sustainable oil and gas production, whilst supporting efficient decommissioning and the energy transition – which for us means reducing emissions from our portfolio of assets, whilst contributing to the UK’s domestic energy supply.”
Based in Aberdeen, Repsol Sinopec has interests in 48 fields, of which it operates 38, on the UK Continental Shelf with 11 offshore installations (ten fixed and one floating) and two onshore terminals - at Flotta in Orkney and at Nigg in the Cromarty Firth.
