Central Petroleum director shows confidence, increases shareholding by 400,000 shares

Central Petroleum (ASX: CTP) director Andrew Whittle has picked up an additional 400,000 shares on the market for A$39,600, or A$0.099 per share.

The acquisition by his superannuation fund comes days after the company appointed former Queensland Gas Company managing director Richard Cottee as its chief executive officer.

Cottee, considered one of the early pioneers of Australia's coal seam gas industry, joined QGC in 2002 and guided the company, which had listed in 2000 with shares valued at A$0.20, into a major producer of coal seam gas in Queensland.

QGC was subsequently acquired by British Gas in 2008 for A$5.75 a share in cash.

Central is also putting into place appraisals of its Surprise-1 oil discovery, which has gone a long way in affirming its long held belief in the petroleum prospectivity of the Amadeus Basin, Northern Territory.
