27 May SEFE announce leadership change in finance
(Oilandgaspress) -– SEFE Securing Energy for Europe GmbH today announced a transition in its finance leadership. CFO Dr Christian Ohlms will leave the company effective 30 September 2026 following an earlier decision not to extend his management contract, which was originally set to run until 31 December 2026.
A decision on the succession has already been made and will be communicated at a later date.

In addition, all structural EU obligations were fully met and important foundations for the company’s further development were established.
Reinhard Gorenflos, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of SEEHG Securing Energy for Europe Holding GmbH: “During a highly demanding period, Dr Christian Ohlms made a significant contribution to the stabilisation, professionalisation and strategic development of SEFE. On behalf of the Supervisory Board, I would like to sincerely thank him for his strong commitment, reliability and trusted cooperation. At the same time, SEFE is very well positioned for the next phase of the company’s development, with the designation of a highly qualified successor and a strong organisational setup.”
Dr Egbert Laege, CEO of SEFE: “Christian has been a key partner in the successful repositioning of SEFE. Together, we have stabilised the company strategically, structurally and financially, laying important foundations for its continued development. I would like to personally thank him, also on behalf of the entire management team, for his outstanding commitment and close collaboration.”
Dr Christian Ohlms, CFO of SEFE: “The past years at SEFE have been marked by major challenges, but also by significant progress. Together with a highly committed team, we succeeded in sustainably stabilising the company and positioning it strongly for the future. I would like to sincerely thank all employees as well as my colleagues on the management team and Supervisory Board for the trusted cooperation. I wish SEFE continued success in the years ahead.”

Canada deepens energy ties with Germany
(Oilandgaspress) -– Canada will sign an agreement with Germany’s SEFE group — Securing Energy for Europe — for supplies from the proposed Ksi Lisims export facility on the coast of British Columbia, AP reported, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The planned exports from Canada would amount to roughly one-eighth of Germany’s LNG imports last year in energy terms. Germany imported 106 terawatt hours of gas through LNG terminals in 2025, according to the Bundesnetzagentur, the country’s federal energy regulator.
SEFE is a major German energy company. It was previously the German subsidiary of Gazprom before Berlin nationalised it in 2022 as Europe struggled with an energy crisis tied to the war in Ukraine.
