Clarkson has over four decades of experience in the oil and gas industry and has been senior vice president for projects and engineering in the upstream business.

He has a proven track record of delivering upstream projects in emerging market environments, and I am confident that his technical expertise, development leadership experience and enthusiasm will be of great benefit to Savannah."

As of 0957 BST, Savannah Petroleum's shares were up 1.89% at 32.30p.
