自由能源公司（纽交所:LBRT）在周一的盘前交易中股价上涨。该公司披露董事会计划任命威廉·金布尔为非执行董事长，罗恩·古塞克为首席执行官。
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.
此举是在当选总统唐纳德·特朗普提名自由创始人、董事长、首席执行官及董事克里斯·赖特担任美国能源部长一职之后。
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.
新的首席财务官任命需经过美国参议院确认，赖特先生将在确认完成之前继续担任自由公司的现职。
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."
赖特补充说：“继任计划一直是董事会的优先事项。与比尔和罗恩密切合作后，我相信自由在我离职后将会在最安全的手中。罗恩与我合作了二十多年，具备确保自由在科技创新和服务质量上继续领先行业，同时为我们宝贵的股东带来增长的所有条件。”
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.
上周，特朗普表示赖特将成为国家能源委员会的一部分，该委员会将由内务部长候选人道格·伯古姆领导，后者目前是北达科他州的州长。
The council's main objective will be to cut down regulations and increase investments to boost oil and gas production.
该委员会的主要目标将是减少监管并增加投资以提升石油和燃气生产。
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.
赖特的提名，作为压裂行业的关键人物，表明特朗普致力于提高石油和燃气生产。这一举措可能会导致更多的钻探活动，并更加关注压裂，尽管美国已经创下了石油生产的纪录。
