Western Midstream Partners LP (WES) named Michael P. Ure as
president and chief executive officer.
The company named Craig W. Collins senior vice president and
chief operating office.
Mr. Ure previously served as senior vice president of business
development for Occidental Petroleum Corp. (OXY) and Mr. Collins is
returning to Western Midstream having previously served as senior
vice president and chief operating officer of its predecessor,
Western Gas Partners LP, from 2017 to 2018, the company said.
Western Midstream Partners is limited partnership formed by
Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (APC) to acquire and operate midstream
assets.
Mr. Ure and Mr. Collins are succeeding Robin H. Fielder and
Gennifer F. Kelly, respectively, in connection with the recently
completed acquisition of Anadarko by Occidental. Occidental said
Thursday it completed its acquisition of Anadarko in a transaction
valued at $55 billion, including the assumption of Anadarko's
debt.
Jaime R. Casas, senior vice president, chief financial officer
and treasurer, and John D. Montanti, vice president, general
counsel and corporate secretary, will remain in their current
positions, Western Midstream said.
Western Midstream also said it appointed Glenn M. Vangolen,
currently senior vice president of Occidental, as chairman of the
board, replacing Benjamin M. Fink effective immediately.
