Oil and gas producer Santos has recruited former Nido Petroleum and BHP Petroleum executive Philip Byrne, who will take over from retiring executive vice-president John Anderson.
Phil Byrne has resigned as managing director of Nido Petroleum, after presiding over two transactions that transformed the Philippines-focused oil producer.
Nido Petroleum directors have unanimously recommended off market takeover bid by BCP Energy International, subsidiary of Thai oil refinery Bangchak, for 5.5 cents per share.
