Package included a £4.6m ‘golden hello’ for CEO of the sector’s largest operator, Harbour Energy’s Linda Cook
Bosses of some of the largest North Sea oil and gas companies have been handed bumper payouts – including an £4.6m ‘golden hello’ for the chief executive of the region’s biggest producer – amid growing pressure for a windfall tax.
The majority of chief executives of the biggest North Sea oil and gas operators received a pay hike, according to recently filed accounts, boosted by the rapid recovery in the oil price from the depths of the pandemic.
