The company said Fletcher brings extensive knowledge and experience of the UK and international upstream and LNG energy industry, joining AMAL from Dragon LNG where he served as managing director, seconded from Shell International Ltd. Fletcher spent more than 20 years with Shell in a career spanning technical, commercial and governance roles across the oil and gas value chain, with a particular focus on LNG.
He takes over from Jim Halliday who has stepped down as CEO. Halliday had been CEO of AMAL since the 2017 acquisition of the SAGE Terminal, SAGE pipeline and Beryl pipeline.
AMAL acquired 100% of SAGE North Sea Ltd. (SNSL), which held Apache’s 30.28% share of SAGE pipeline and terminal and 60.58% of the Beryl Pipeline in 2017. SNSL operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of AMAL.
The SAGE system comprises a 323-km, 30-inch bore pipeline and a gas processing terminal. Gas is transported through the SAGE pipeline and processed in the SAGE terminal from multiple fields across the UK and Norwegian sectors of the North Sea. The SAGE terminal also processes gas received by way of the Britannia pipeline, which serves the Britannia field and its satellites.
In August 2022, AMAL commemorated the 30th anniversary of the commissioning of the SAGE gas export system in the North Sea. First gas flowed from the SAGE Terminal at St Fergus, north of Aberdeen, into the UK’s National Grid on Aug. 2, 1992.
And in August 2021, AMAL received first gas from Lundin’s extended well test at the Rolvsnes Field in the Norwegian North Sea into the SAGE gas trunkline system.
