The company was created in June 2009 out of a £1 million cash-shell listed on the London Stock Exchange. In 2012, following a massive gas discovery offshore Mozambique, Royal Dutch Shell plc and PTT Exploration and Production (PTTEP), a subsidiary of Thailand's national oil company PTT Public Company Limited, engaged in a prominent bidding war to acquire Cove. Ultimately, the company was sold in August 2012 for £1.2 billion to PTTEP. The value created for Cove's shareholders over that three-year period was in excess of £1 billion, making it one of the most successful oil & gas exploration stories of the last decennia. == The early days == In early 2009, Michael Blaha and John Craven, two industry veterans, teamed up to create a new oil & gas explorer with a focus on the largely unexplored deep waters of East Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean. They joined the Board of Directors of Lapp Plats plc, a £1 million cash-shell listed on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange and renamed the company Cove Energy plc. Michael Blaha was appointed Executive Chairman and John Craven became the CEO. Prior to joining Cove, Michael Blaha was the Country Chairman of Shell in Algeria. John Craven was the founder and former CEO of Petroceltic International plc.〔http://www.discover-exploration.com/about/management_team〕 Michael Nolan, the former CEO of Lapp Plats, was appointed Financial Director. The management team was later supplemented with Paul Griggs and Alexander Mollinger. The non-executive directors of Cove included Frank Moxon, Senior Independent Director, Dr Steve Staley and Anthony Golding. Cove’s strategy was to create value for shareholders through acquiring participations in exploration assets and appraisal programmes. The company focussed on young and emerging basins, de-risked through 3D seismic. It also aimed at partnering with proven and reliable operators. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cove Energy plc」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
