Simon GorringeSimon has a degree in Chemical Engineering from
UMIST. He began his career in the petrochemical industry, moving
into cryogenics and finally into the oil & gas industry in the late
80's. Initially he worked for Kerr-McGee on the Gryphon field
and then moved to Conoco where he spent most of the 90's as a development
engineer on Conoco's UKCS developments before moving to BHPBilliton.
Whilst there he developed a reputation for unlocking marginal fields
by developing the Keith Field, an asset that was deemed to be uneconomic
until he and his fellow Corsair Director Trevor Ridley found a commercial
and technical solution. In 2000 he left BHPBilliton to establish
a consultancy providing development management support to new entrants
to the UKCS. He was appointed Managing Director of Corsair in
May 2003 and has over 25 years in the petrochemical, cryogenics and
oil & gas industry. |
