DECOM North Sea (DNS), the membership organisation for the oil and gas decommissioning sector, has announced the appointment of its new chief executive officer.
Fraser Moonie, who brings more than 25 years experience to the role, including 15 years with Bibby Offshore, takes up his position with immediate effect.
His decommissioning-specific experience includes Technip’s Phillips Maureen platform re-float project in 2001 through to 2015’s ConocoPhillips MacCulloch and 2017’s CNR Murchison, with international experience in the Gulf of Mexico decommissioning for Shell Pipeline (Shell Oil US) in the same year.
Fraser said: “I join Decom North Sea at what continues to be an extraordinary time for society and a challenging time to be in business. I believe that the next five years are critical to our industry, and that Decom North Sea has a keyrole to play in facilitating domestic and international success for its members.”
DNS’ interim managing director, Will Rowley, who has led and developed the organisation during the past 12 months, will support a smooth transition before continuing his long-standing involvement with DNS.
Jinda Nelson, chair of DNS’ board of directors added: “We are thrilled to welcome Fraser to Decom North Sea, knowing that his global decommissioning experience, entrepreneurial spirit and engaging manner make him a perfect candidate to drive the DNS strategy.
“Highly respected and with outstanding, well-documented leadership skills, Fraser’s passion for this industry is clear and we are convinced that he will play an important part in the future of the organisation and wider decom sector.”
