BP will appoint Richard Herbert as its new head of exploration. Herbert will succeed Mike Daly who has chosen to retire from BP at the end of 2013 after a career of 28 years with the company, eight leading BP’s exploration function.

Herbert will rejoin BP from Talisman Energy where he has held the position of Executive Vice President (EVP), Exploration since 2009.

BP Group Chief Executive Bob Dudley said: “I am pleased to welcome Richard back to BP. He brings a wealth of exploration and leadership experience and expertise, gained across the world, which is aligned well with BP’s Upstream and exploration strategy.”

Before joining Talisman, Herbert spent six years with TNK-BP in Russia, serving first as VP Exploration and then EVP Technology. Prior to TNK-BP, Herbert had a 19 year career with BP. He first joined BP as an exploration geologist in 1984 and held a number of senior technical and leadership positions in operations across the world, latterly leading BP’s Angolan business and then the Wytch Farm oilfield in the UK.

Mike Daly has led BP’s exploration function for eight years, overseeing the re-energising of BP’s resource renewal activity. Under his leadership, BP has accessed new deepwater exploration positions, including in Angola, Australia, Brazil, Canada and Libya, and deepened existing positions in the Gulf of Mexico and Egypt. He also led in resource access deals for BP in the Rumaila field in Iraq, the partnership with Reliance Industries Limited in India, tight gas in Oman, Canadian oil sands and shale plays around the world.
