THE Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) has appointed Andy Brooks as its new central North Sea area manager.
Mr Brooks, a Leeds University chemical engineering graduate, replaces Scott Robertson who was promoted to director of operations earlier in the year.
His start in the industry came in 2002 when he joined BP’s Challenge Graduate Scheme as a production/process engineer.
He spent 5 years at BP supporting various assets such as ETAP, Wytch Farm and Southern North Sea Gas before moving to CNR International as a production engineer to support their assets in the Ivory Coast.
Since 2012 he has worked at Chevron Upstream Europe working firstly as a project engineer/team leader focussed on early phase/concept engineering for brownfield modifications and potential greenfield developments.
In September 2014 he assumed the role of asset manager for the Erskine and Alder fields in the North Sea.
Most recently in January 2020, following the purchase of CNSL by Ithaca Energy Ltd in November 2019, he has been in the role as transformation project manager.
