BG GROUP has appointed Catherine Tanna to run its Australian operations, heading its subsidiary Queensland Gas Company.

Ms Tanna comes from strong industry roots in Queensland, with the RG Tanna Coal Terminal named after her late father Reg, who was previously the general manager of the Gladstone Port Authority.

Taking on the role as executive vice-president and managing director Australia for BG Group, Ms Tanna will have strategic and operational oversight of all of BG Group's interests in Australia and be based at the Brisbane headquarters.

Her responsibilities include overseeing the development of QGC's coal seam gas resources, downstream market opportunities and the new Queensland Curtis LNG export facility near the port of Gladstone.

She will also be a member of the BG Group executive committee and will report directly to chief executive Frank Chapman.

Ms Tanna is currently the executive vice-president, gas and power with Shell. She was most recently responsible for Shell's LNG, gas transmission and power generation interests across Africa.

She has also previously worked for BHP Petroleum in several exploration and production and commercial roles.

"Catherine has a wealth of international experience in the gas industry, combined with a deep-rooted understanding of the Australian energy sector," Mr Chapman said.

International mining consultancy Coffey International has also appointed a female to a key role. It has made acting chief financial officer Debbie Goodin the new director of operations.

Ms Goodin has almost 20 years of senior management, operations and financial management experience.

She is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants and has held senior finance roles with the Victorian Government, City of Melbourne, Ferrier Hodgson and Arthur Andersen.
