Wednesday, September 07, 2005 PERTH-based company Cool Energy has appointed Simon Elliott as project manager and field coordinator to help drive the commercialisation of their gas-sweetening technology. His first priority in the new role is to prepare for field trials at Arc Energy's Xyris site in the Perth Basin for the first half of 2006.
Cool Energy is an unlisted private company focusing on a new type of gas-sweetening technology, which aims to globally commercialise high carbon dioxide gas fields.
Developed by Curtin University in Western Australia, the technology extracts the carbon dioxide contaminant from the gas in a form suitable for geo-sequestration or other industrial applications.
Elliott has more than 10 years experience in process engineering, previously working both internationally and in Australia for companies including Woodside, Apache, IGL Oil and Gas, BHP Petroleum and BP Oil Refinery.
He has also worked with Arc Energy since 2003 to help transform its temporary Perth Basin operations into a permanent facility.
