Carnarvon Energy Limited announced that existing Chief Executive Officer Adrian Cook agreed to retire from the Board. As part of the Board changes, Mr. Cook will step-down immediately from the role of Carnarvon's Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The positions of CEO and Chief Operating Officer (COO) will be merged, with Carnarvon's current COO Mr. Philip Huizenga being appointed into the new CEO role.

This change has been planned for some time, and reflects Carnarvon's progression from explorer to producer.
