US energy producer Talos set to name Shell’s Goodfellow as next CEO, sources say
Live MintBy David French and Andres Gonzalez Feb 2 - Talos Energy, a mid-sized U.S. oil producer with operations in the Gulf of Mexico, is poised to name veteran Shell executive Paul Goodfellow as its next CEO, two people familiar with the matter said on Sunday. Goodfellow will succeed Talos' founder and long-time CEO Tim Duncan, who abruptly left the company in August after helping it grow into the fifth-largest oil and natural gas producer in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico during his 12-year stint. Houston-based Talos, which has a market capitalization of about $1.8 billion, has been searching for a new chief executive since Duncan's surprise departure. Talos was founded in 2012 by Duncan, with the backing of private equity firms Apollo Global Management and Riverstone Holdings, which invested a combined $600 million in the company.
