J-W Energy announces executive management changes

David A. Miller has been appointed as President of J-W Energy Company, while Richard T. Clement has accepted the additional responsibilities of President of J-W Midstream Company.

"These strategic initiatives will allow Tony Meyer to focus on the integration of the previously announced acquisition of the assets from BHP Billiton, as he was acting both as the President of J-W Midstream Company and the President of J-W Operating Company," commented Howard G. Westerman, Chief Executive Officer of J-W Energy Company. "David and Richard are both excited about the growth potential for the company in the coming year and looking forward to assisting the management team in capitalising on the opportunities that the North Louisiana acquisition presents."

David Miller has provided legal representation for J-W Energy Company and its subsidiaries since 1976. He was appointed an Independent Director in September 2011 and later Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Board. Serving as Senior Executive Vice President, he has played a pivotal role this past year in helping to usher in a new management approach for the business units and fostering the strategic plans for the company. In addition, he led the efforts in negotiating a new finance arrangement and in divesting the valve and wireline businesses. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Oklahoma in 1972 and his law degree from the University of Texas in 1975.

While Richard Clement will continue to retain his position with J-W Energy Company, he will primarily focus on the midstream business. Joining the company in 1984, Clement has held numerous positions in management, gas marketing, operations, pipeline and gathering, compression, exploration and production, and administration. In 2000, Clement was promoted to President of J-W Gathering Company and Q-West Energy Company and in 2009, he moved to Executive Vice President of J-W Energy Company, where he has been responsible for risk management, business development, business processes, and health, safety and environmental affairs. Additionally, he has served as an advisor to the Executive Management Team with regards to capital allocation, asset development, hydrocarbon marketing, contracts, and legal and regulatory matters.
