Ex-Shell man Michel Faure is a new director at Gulfsands Petroleum (LON:GPX), the firm said.
Faure is an experienced professional in the oil sector and recently retired from Royal Dutch Shell where he worked for over three decades, including as country chairman and chief executive of Shell affiliates including Tunisia, Morocco and most recently Saudi Arabia.
Andrew West, Gulfsands chairman, said: “The breadth of his experience acquired in heading Shell’s operations in a number of countries across the MENA region and Africa, including Morocco and Tunisia where we are operators of oil and gas exploration and production joint ventures, should be of great benefit to the company and our shareholders.
“My colleagues and I are very much looking forward to our working together.”
