Stuart Lake, the CEO of Africa Petroleum (APCL), is stepping down for health reasons. He will be replaced by the current COO, Jens Pace. Jens has over 30 years’ industry experience, including roles at BP (and previously Amoco), latterly as VP of exploration (North Africa). His experience in a multitude of African countries and as the COO at APCL since October 2012 means he should be well placed to take the reins from Stuart. We wish Mr Lake a swift recovery.
