Salamander is listed in the UK, but its operating activities are focused and located in South-East Asia, which has extensive hydrocarbon-producing basins and frontier exploration regions.

At the time of its formation in 2005, Salamander’s key asset was a stake in the Phu Horm gas field development in North-East Thailand. Since then, the business has built a balanced portfolio of production and exploration assets, giving it proved and probable reserves of 42.3 mmboe and output of 7,500 boepd.

The company has 28 employees spread across its offices in London, Singapore and Jakarta. It is led by a management team with deep sector and regional experience, including Charles Jamieson, who was CEO of Premier Oil plc for 13 years and James Menzies, formerly a senior partner at Lambert Energy Advisory.
