The Australian Oil & Gas Review
Global experts head Siecap energy portfolio
LEADING Brisbane project management and advisory firm Siecap has expanded its consulting services into the traditional and renewables energy sector, building upon recent successes in delivering energy studies for its clients. Siecap’s energy division welcomed John Henderson and Matt Cooper, both trusted industry executives with a reputation for integrity and performance. John Henderson brings more than 35 years’ experience developing and executing complex mining and energy projects in Australia, Africa and Asia to Siecap’s Advisory Board. His broad knowledge across mining and energy portfolios reinforces Siecap’s practical and customer-focused project delivery base. Joining Siecap as Energy executive director, Matt Cooper has 25 years’ experience in the engineering sector which includes more than 15 years’ experience developing and operating oil and gas, mining and energy resource tenements and associated infrastructure. Like Mr Henderson, Mr Cooper brings a unique mix of cradle-to grave experience that has evolved from engineering trade qualifications through to engineering and masters commerce degrees. This enables them to bring a dynamic blend of practicality, enthusiasm, technical aptitude and commercial acumen to the development execution and operation of complex energy and natural resource projects. Mr Cooper has an impressive track record of successfully developing and operating multiple simultaneous energy and resource industry work programs. His point of specialisation is that he is one of few industry professionals spanning both the resource and infrastructure aspects of the full project lifecycle – from project development, through to execution and operation. Siecap chief executive David Irvine said that the combined experience and talent of Mr Henderson and Mr Cooper, alongside the recent successful delivery of project studies in the energy sector, positioned the Siecap energy business for growth into a powerhouse business unit within the Siecap portfolio. “Since 2007, Siecap has built an impressive reputation for delivering substantial value to its clients and we see the energy and resources portfolios as strategic areas that complement our existing business skillset,” Mr Irvine said. “This affords us the ability to identify, assess and implement energy projects that can improve our clients’ bottom line. “Matt brings an extensive network and a wide spectrum of skills to our business and John enjoys both the strategic and operational aspects of energy studies and projects.” Siecap Energy has recently delivered a gas resource commercialisation strategic overview for a major client and is currently undertaking an appraisal study for a client seeking to vertically integrate upstream from its power generation assets. It has also provided a strategic re-alignment for a pipeline operating company, and a project focused on optimising the safe and efficient drainage and commercialisation of gas from an underground coal mine. Siecap is a dynamic project management and advisory business that provides customised solutions across the energy resources, infrastructure, agribusiness, supply chain, logistics and procurement industries that balance leading edge strategy with pragmatism.
