Tellurian appoints Barclays’ Simon Oxley as CFO

(Reuters) – U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) developer Tellurian Inc said on Wednesday it has appointed Simon Oxley as chief financial officer, effective June 1.

Oxley, who worked at Barclays Investment Bank as co-head of Oil & Gas Investment Banking for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, will take over from Khaled Sharafeldin, who had been serving as the interim finance chief after Kian Granmayeh resigned from the CFO position in March.

Oxley joins Tellurian after its Driftwood project has seen many setbacks including the cancellation of some LNG supply deals after two major potential customers last year raised concerns around the company’s ability to finish the project.
