Changes in the corporate executive committee of Statoil ASA
The executive vice president for Statoil's (OSE:
STL, NYSE: STO) Exploration & Production Norway
business area, Terje Overvik (55), will withdraw
from the corporate executive committee as of 1
June this year. Mr Overvik is to take up the
position as managing director of Gaz de France
Norge on 1 September.
Terje Overvik has a PhD in engineering from the
Norwegian University of Science and Technology
(NTNU) in Trondheim. He joined Statoil in 1983 and
has had a number of key posts in the Statoil
group, including platform manager and operations
vice president for the Statfjord field. He was
executive vice president for Technology before he
took over responsibility for Norwegian continental
shelf (NCS) operations in 2004.
"Terje has a very robust career behind him at
Statoil," says chief executive Helge Lund.
"In recent years he has been one of the driving
forces in the revitalisation that has taken place
on the NCS. Terje has the ability to combine long-
term, strategic thinking with a focus on the daily
operations. He has made his mark not least in his
involvement in very active HSE work. I wish him
good luck with the new challenges he will come to
meet in Gaz de France, and we in Statoil look
forward to a continuing good collaboration with
both Terje and Gaz de France."
Until Mr Overvik leaves Statoil, matters relating
to Gaz de France will be dealt with by Rune
Bjørnson, executive vice president for Statoil's
Natural Gas business area.
