Tullow Oil plc has announced the appointment of Ian Perks as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective 15 September 2025. He will also join the company’s Board.
His appointment ends the interim leadership of Richard Miller, who will now return to his substantive role as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) after serving as both CFO and Interim CEO.
Ian Perks brings more than three decades of experience in the upstream oil and gas industry, having held senior positions at BG Group, Anadarko, and Total. His extensive track record across Africa and other international markets positions him to provide strategic leadership at a time when Tullow is sharpening its focus on delivering value from its African assets, particularly in Ghana.
Industry analysts note that his leadership could play a decisive role in sustaining Tullow’s flagship operations in Ghana’s Jubilee and TEN oil fields, ensuring efficiency, maximizing output, and supporting the country’s broader energy and revenue ambitions.
Tullow Oil expressed confidence that Perks’ appointment will accelerate its long-term growth strategy, strengthen investor confidence, and reinforce its standing as a key player in Africa’s energy landscape.
