Africa Oil Corp., Vancouver, BC, said that Mark Dingley will join the
company on May 1 as president of Africa Oil Ethiopia BV and chief
operating officer of Horn Petroleum Corp.
Africa Oil holds an approximate 45% equity interest in Horn and
provides the management of the business. Dingley will be based in
company’s Addis Ababa office.
Dingley has 14 years of oil industry experience including 12 years
with Talisman Energy Inc., where he was vice-president, Middle East
operations, and general manager, Peru; manager, corporate security and
surface risk; manager, government affairs; and deputy general manager,
Sudan.
Africa Oil said it expects the addition of Dingley to be of great
benefit as it commences operations in Ethiopia and moves to conduct
further operations in Somalia through Horn.
