Chevron appoints new Australia chief
PERTH (miningweekly.com) – US energy major Chevron has tapped Mark Hatfield, currently VP of its Gulf of Mexico business unit, to become MD of Chevron Australia and head of the Australasia business unit, effective March 1.
Hatfield succeeds Al Williams, who has been appointed VP of corporate affairs for Chevron Corporation, reporting to chairperson and CEO Michael Wirth, also effective March 1.
“Hatfield is an outstanding leader who will bring key deepwater expertise and a strategic mindset to Chevron’s continued investment and operations that will benefit Australia and our other stakeholders for decades to come,” said Williams.
“I have relished my time in Australia working alongside talented, innovative and energetic people to safely bring natural gas to the West Australian community and liquefied natural gas (LNG) to the Asia Pacific region. I look forward to continuing to champion the mutual interests of Australia and Chevron in my new role.”
Currently responsible for Chevron’s deepwater exploration and production activities in the Gulf of Mexico, Hatfield brings more than three decades of experience to Australia, including roles as general manager of strategy and planning for Chevron’s global upstream business and general manager of strategy and planning for Chevron North America Exploration and Production.
Hatfield joined Chevron in 1982 as a production engineer in New Orleans after graduating with a bachelor’s degree in petroleum engineering from the University of Tulsa in Oklahoma. In 1992, he earned a master’s degree in civil engineering from the University of New Orleans.
“The Gorgon, Wheatstone and North West Shelf natural gas facilities are strategic assets in our global portfolio. I look forward to building on the work Williams has done to strengthen our relationships with business and community partners in Australia,” said Hatfield.
