Enterprise Oil plc has today announced that Keith Henry, having completed the
second three year term of appointment as a non-executive director, will not seek
re-election to the board at this year's Annual General Meeting.

Mr Henry has decided to leave the board in order to devote more time to his role
as Group Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer of Kvaerner E&C's
engineering and construction business. He has been a member of Enterprise Oil's
board since 1996.

Sir Graham Hearne, Chairman, commented: 'Keith has contributed greatly to the
board's deliberations in his time with Enterprise, and brought his great
expertise in the energy and engineering businesses to bear. I am very grateful
for his efforts and wish him the best for the future.'
