ProPetro Holding Corp. 7 月 27 日表示，该公司已将公司总裁 Sam Sledge 提拔为首席执行官，作为这家位于德克萨斯州米德兰的服务提供商去年联合创始人 Dale Redman退出导致的高管领导层过渡的一部分。。

Sledge 于 2011 年加入 ProPetro，在其任职期间担任过多种职务，包括压裂技术专家和技术运营经理。晋升后，公司董事长兼首席执行官 Phillip Gobe 自 8 月 31 日起将转任执行董事长。

斯莱奇在一份关于他晋升的声明中表示：“我感谢董事会持续的信心，并感谢菲利普在过去两年中的战略领导。在我们的领导层过渡期间以及由于全球 COVID-19 大流行的影响而导致石油和天然气行业历史上最困难的时期之一，他的稳定指导至关重要。”

作为领导层过渡的一部分，首席运营官 Adam Muunoz 的领导职位将扩大为总裁兼首席运营官。Muunoz 于 2010 年加入该公司，负责启动 ProPetro 的二叠纪压力泵业务。此前，他曾在 Frac Tech Services 和 Weatherford International 担任销售和运营职务。

戈贝在新闻稿中表示，“今天的公告标志着我们董事会为 ProPetro 执行领导团队有序过渡而进行的全面继任计划流程的最终结果。” “Sam 和 Adam 都当之无愧地担任扩大的领导角色，他们在过去的十年或更长时间里都在公司工作，在此期间，他们对业务和我们独特的团队合作文化有了深入的了解。”

ProPetro 为二叠纪盆地和其他北美非常规油气区的勘探与生产公司提供压力泵送和其他补充服务。

斯莱奇于四月份被任命为总裁，他也将加入公司董事会。他是 ProPetro 前首席运营官戴维·斯莱奇 (David Sledge) 的儿子，后者于去年年底辞去这一职务。

Sledge 在声明中补充说，领导团队将继续与 Gobe 和董事会密切合作，寻找促进 ProPetro 长期成功的机会。

“我们将继续优先考虑资本纪律，因为我们的目标是投资具有更好技术的新设备，我们相信这将推动增量和更一致的自由现金流的产生，并减少我们的运营对环境的影响，”他说。

ProPetro Holding Corp. said July 27 it had promoted Sam Sledge, the company’s president, to CEO as part of the executive leadership transition spurred by the exit of the Midland, Texas-based service provider’s co-founder Dale Redman last year.

Sledge joined ProPetro in 2011 and has served in various capacities throughout his tenure, including frac technical specialist and technical operations manager. As a result of his promotion, effective Aug. 31, Phillip Gobe, the company’s chairman and CEO, will transition to executive chairman.

In a statement commented on his promotion, Sledge said: “I appreciate the continued confidence of the Board and want to thank Phillip for his strategic leadership over the past two years. His steady guidance was crucial during our leadership transition and one of the most difficult periods in the history of the oil and gas industry due to impacts associated with the global COVID-19 pandemic.”

Also part of the leadership transition, COO Adam Muñoz’s leadership position will expand to president and COO. Muñoz had joined the company to initiate ProPetro’s Permian pressure pumping operation in 2010. Previously, he held sales and operations roles at Frac Tech Services and Weatherford International.

“Today’s announcement marks the culmination of our board of directors’ comprehensive succession planning process for the orderly transition of ProPetro’s executive leadership team,” Gobe said in the release. “Both Sam and Adam are well-deserving of their expanded leadership roles, with each spending the last ten or more years at the company during which time they have developed a deep knowledge of the business and our unique culture of teamwork.”

ProPetro provides pressure pumping and other complementary services to E&P companies in the Permian Basin and other Northam American unconventional oil and gas plays.

Sledge, who had been named president in April, will also join the company’s board of directors. He is the son of ProPetro’s former COO, David Sledge, who stepped down from the role at the end of last year.

In his statement, Sledge added that the leadership team will continue to work closely with Gobe and the board to identify opportunities that promote the long-term success of ProPetro.

“We will continue to prioritize capital discipline as we target investments in new equipment with better technology that we believe will drive incremental and more consistent free cash flow generation and reduce the impact of our operations on the environment,” he said.
