FAR: Michael Cowie to provide C. Norman with legal advice

摘要

Finding itself at the heart of converging interests since making the SNE and FAN discoveries on the Senegalese block Sangomar Deep it jointly operates with Cairn Energy, FAR Ltd needs to create new positions to manage its expanding activities. Michael Cowie will become the Australian junior’s very first general counsel, just as the company becomes familiar with Senegal’s judicial system ( AEI 811). Cowie clocked in nearly 20 years with Japan Australia LNG, an Australian JV between Mitsubishi Corp and Mitsui, active on North West Shelf operated by Woodside Energy. FAR’s chief executive Catherine Norman will need to call on her new legal specialist to help negotiate new partnership agreements. For instance, the junior recently sold 40% of its Gambian blocks A2/A5 located immediately south of SNE and FAN (see p.3).
