TESTIMONIALS
Brad has a vast amount of knowledge and experience, in particular with building and maintaining relationships with senior management in the government and corporate arenas.
As part of my current role I have consulted with Brad on matters of Emergency Management and Business Continuity, he has provided me with excellent up to date advice.
In October 2013, Murphy Australia Oil was awarded Operatorship of Great Australian Bight offshore oil and gas permit EPP43. Our Joint Venture partner is SANTOS.
From December 2015 until the present moment (September 2017), Brad Flaherty has provided the EPP43 Joint Venture (JV) with valuable Stakeholder assistance for this permit.
Brad first worked with the JV on the Eyre Peninsular stakeholder engagement ahead of the large 3D seismic survey which was acquired over EPP43. Brad has also helped with the JV efforts to engage with a wide range of stakeholders during the two Senate Inquiries into Oil and Gas Exploration in the Bight.
His business focus, hard-working ethic, honest dealing and plain speaking “copper” background, means Brad can get us to see many local, state & federal politicians of both sides of the house.
Brad’s character, deep local knowledge and excellent connections are an ideal fit with our needs in the Eyre Peninsular.
