Abercrombie, new CEO of TCO, said: “Having worked with TCO for almost a decade, I have seen the impact and benefits that our products and services have delivered for clients across the globe.
“Success to date has been built on an approach that integrates a high-level of service, with the very latest in technological innovation. In doing so we deliver increased deployment efficiency and enhanced well production while reducing operational risk for our customers.
“Our people are the core of our business, and we remain committed to challenging and redefining well solutions through the use of talent, experience and differentiation. This will remain central to our strategy as I lead the business on the next stage of its journey.”
Øystein Elgan, Chairman of TCO, said: “Robert’s knowledge of TCO, paired with his strong strategic leadership qualities, will help to drive the company through its ambitious growth strategy.
"While TCO remains a Norwegian business at heart, we are increasingly operating and growing internationally, becoming a well-respected and trusted industry supplier. We look forward to Robert’s leadership over the coming years.”
