Liberty Energy Names New CEO As Chris Wright Prepares For US Energy Secretary Role
Wright added, "Succession planning has been a priority of the Board. Having worked closely with both Bill and Ron, Liberty will be in the safest of hands upon my departure. Ron has been a close partner to me for over two decades and possesses all the criteria to ensure Liberty continues leading the industry in technology innovation and service quality while delivering growth for our valued shareholders."Liberty Energy Inc. (NYSE:LBRT) shares are trading higher premarket on Monday. The company disclosed that the Board of Directors intends to appoint William Kimble as non-executive Chairman and Ron Gusek as Chief Executive Officer.
自由能源公司（紐交所:LBRT）在週一的盤前交易中股價上漲。該公司披露董事會計劃任命威廉·金布爾爲非執行董事長，羅恩·古塞克爲首席執行官。
The move came after President-elect Donald J. Trump nominated Liberty's Founder, Chairman, CEO, and Director, Chris Wright, for the position of U.S. Secretary of Energy.
此舉是在當選總統唐納德·特朗普提名自由創始人、董事長、首席執行官及董事克里斯·賴特擔任美國能源部長一職之後。
The new CFO appointment is subject to U.S. Senate confirmation, and Mr. Wright will remain in his current role at Liberty until confirmation is completed.
新的首席財務官任命需經過美國參議院確認，賴特先生將在確認完成之前繼續擔任自由公司的現職。
Wright added, "Succession planning has been a priority of the Board. Having worked closely with both Bill and Ron, Liberty will be in the safest of hands upon my departure. Ron has been a close partner to me for over two decades and possesses all the criteria to ensure Liberty continues leading the industry in technology innovation and service quality while delivering growth for our valued shareholders."
賴特補充說：「繼任計劃一直是董事會的優先事項。與比爾和羅恩密切合作後，我相信自由在我離職後將會在最安全的手中。羅恩與我合作了二十多年，具備確保自由在科技創新和服務質量上繼續領先行業，同時爲我們寶貴的股東帶來增長的所有條件。」
Last week, Trump said that Wright will be a part of the National Energy Council that will be headed by Interior Secretary-designate Doug Burgum, who is currently the governor of North Dakota.
上週，特朗普表示賴特將成爲國家能源委員會的一部分，該委員會將由內務部長候選人道格·伯古姆領導，後者目前是北達科他州的州長。
The council's main objective will be to cut down regulations and increase investments to boost oil and gas production.
該委員會的主要目標將是減少監管並增加投資以提升石油和燃氣生產。
The nomination of Wright, a key player in the fracking industry, signals Trump's commitment to boost oil and gas production. The move could potentially lead to increased drilling activities and a greater focus on fracking, despite the U.S. already setting oil production records.
賴特的提名，作爲壓裂行業的關鍵人物，表明特朗普致力於提高石油和燃氣生產。這一舉措可能會導致更多的鑽探活動，並更加關注壓裂，儘管美國已經創下了石油生產的紀錄。
