Daniel "Danny" Brown
After an eight-month search, Expand Energy, the country's #1 natural gas producer and one of the biggest drillers in the Marcellus/Utica, finally has a permanent boss. Yesterday, the company named Daniel E. "Danny" Brown, the CEO of Bakken oil driller Chord Energy, as its new President and CEO, effective next Monday, Oct. 26. Board Chairman Mike Wichterich, who has been keeping the seat warm since the board fired Nick Dell'Osso in February (see Earthquake at Expand Energy: CEO Nick Dell'Osso Fired by the Board), goes back to being non-executive chairman. Brown may run a North Dakota oil company today, but he's no stranger to Pennsylvania. He once ran Anadarko's Appalachia operations. And right now, his (soon-to-be former) company is Expand's partner in a big chunk of northeast PA Marcellus wells.
