Apache Corporation has announced the appointment of two new Houston based midstream and marketing executives
Brian W. Freed has been named senior vice president, of midstream and marketing while Robert “Bob” Bourne has been named vice president for the section’s business development.
The appointments were made following well results earlier this year from the new West Texas discovery, Alpine High.
Apache’s chief executive officer and president, John J. Christmann IV, said: “With our significant, multiproduct discovery at Alpine High, we have an increased focus on midstream optimization and ensuring we have flexibility and options to move our production to market.
“Brian and Bob bring valuable experience and additional expertise to Apache’s midstream and marketing team. Their broad product marketing skill set will be highly beneficial as we grow Alpine High from startup to a multiproduct producing asset over the coming years.”
Freed will have leadership and oversight of all of Apache’s midstream and marketing strategies, activities and business opportunities in North America and internationally.
Bourne will have responsibility for generating and developing new business opportunities for Apache’s Alpine High discovery, including executing an effective midstream and marketing strategy for Alpine High’s oil, gas and liquids production and managing commercial aspects of transportation, storage, processing and marketing of hydrocarbon products from Alpine High.
