Just last week, Alex Gaft, an ENRC corporate investigator, had left the company and last week Jim Cochrane, Chief Commercial Officer, suddenly departed.
ENRC operates in multiple locations, including Kazakhstan, China, Russia, Brazil, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia, Mozambique and South Africa.
