Thom has more than 20 years of financial and operational experience in the energy industry, primarily offshore Gulf of Mexico operations, according to the company press release.

"[Thom's] experience and proven leadership, as well as her familiarity with a significant portion of our asset base, will serve our company and its stockholders well," Brooks said in a statement. "Having worked with T.J. before when she served on the Yates board of directors, I have seen her talents, her breadth of knowledge about the oil and gas industry, and her commitment to strong corporate governance and controls."
