Well-Safe Adds New Members to Its Team

Well-Safe Solutions has appointed two more directors to lead the recently launched business focused on the North Sea decommissioning.

A specialist well abandonment company, Well-Safe Solutions will help oil and gas operators to meet the challenges of safe and cost-efficient decommissioning of subsea wells.

Following the recent announcement of the company’s first acquisition and appointment of chief executive officer, Phil Milton, Well-Safe has bolstered its team of experienced experts with the appointments of Graeme Murray as legal and commercial director and Glenn Wilson as chief technical officer (CTO).

Chief executive officer of Well-Safe Solutions, Phil Milton, said: “With these new appointments and the strength of our executive, we now have what I believe is one of the strongest, most technically competent and well-connected management teams in the business.

“Graeme Murray’s legal and commercial expertise and track-record will underpin the roll-out of our differentiated contracting strategy, unique commercial model and innovative funding packages. As CTO, Glenn Wilson brings a wealth of engineering expertise and a proven track-record in decommissioning P&A programme management and delivery.

“We will continue to invest in people and look to acquire assets to build a market-leading decommissioning company for the future, capable of taking on any P&A operation.”

Joining Well-Safe from Dolphin Drilling, where he was managing director, Murray has over 27 years’ legal and commercial experience in oil and gas. He was previously general counsel, company secretary and vice-president for commercial and procurement with Subsea 7.

Wilson joins Well-Safe from Repsol Sinopec where he was decommissioning programme manager. Prior to that he was decommissioning and UK operations manager for Hess Limited in Aberdeen. With over 30 years’ E&P experience in oil and gas asset life cycle management, Wilson has held various senior roles, on and offshore for Hess, JP Kenny and Coflexip Stena Offshore.
