Feb 14 (LNGJ) - Origin Energy, the upstream operator of the Australia Pacific LNG plant on Curtis Island in the state of Queensland, has appointed Lawrie Tremaine as its new Chief Financial Officer. Tremaine joins Origin from Woodside Energy, operator of two Australian LNG plants, and where he was Executive Vice President and CFO. He had joined Woodside in 2006 from Alcoa where he held senior financial roles in Australia and across the Asia-Pacific. Origin Chief Executive Frank Calabria said he was delighted to have Tremaine join the company’s executive leadership. “Lawrie’s appointment is another important step forward in achieving our immediate goal of reducing debt and improving returns so that we can position Origin for growth in a rapidly changing energy market, while delivering on the potential of our investment in Australia Pacific LNG,” said Calabria.
