Case Studies

Hartogen Oil and Gas Group

Brian Silvia was appointed as provisional and official liquidator to Hartogen Oil and Gas Group, an oil and gas producer prospector (now Origin Energy). We maintained the company’s exploration and production program, sold key tenements and managed the sale of Consolidated Petroleum Australia NL, an associated company via a reverse takeover. A major preference claim was also initiated against the company’s major shareholder; recovered approximately $25 million from the claim.
