Enterprise and Duncan Energy Announce Organizational Changes; Elect Teague as Director and Chief Commercial Officer
The general partners of Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (NYSE:EPD) and
Duncan Energy Partners L.P. (NYSE:DEP) today announced organizational
changes to their commercial management teams. A. J. "Jim”
Teague, executive vice president, was elected as a director to the
respective boards of the general partners and as chief commercial
officer responsible for managing all of the commercial businesses of the
partnerships. Teague will continue to report to Michael A. Creel,
president and chief executive officer of Enterprise.
Teague joined Enterprise in 1999 as executive vice president through the
partnership’s acquisition of Shell Oil Company’s
midstream energy business in Louisiana and Mississippi. Since that time,
Teague has been responsible for Enterprise’s
natural gas liquids ("NGL”)
businesses and, more recently, developing its natural gas marketing
group. Prior to joining Enterprise, Teague was a member of the senior
management teams at affiliates of Shell Oil Company, MAPCO Inc. and Dow
Chemical Company.
"On behalf of the board of directors of the
general partners of Enterprise and Duncan Energy, I am pleased to
announce Jim Teague’s election as a director
and the chief commercial officer of Enterprise,”
said Creel. "Jim has a wealth of knowledge of
the midstream energy business and has been an integral part of Enterprise’s
success over the past nine years.” "At this time, we are also making changes to
Enterprise’s commercial organization to make
it more consistent with our value chain approach to conducting business.
With this realignment, the management of Enterprise’s
commercial businesses will now be organized into four reporting lines,
each of which either form an integrated value chain or have
complementary characteristics. The executives managing these businesses
will report to Jim Teague. We believe these changes will be beneficial
as we work to maximize the economic utilization of our $16 billion
portfolio of midstream energy assets.”
Enterprise’s regulated and offshore assets
will be managed by James H. Lytal, executive vice president. In addition
to Lytal’s existing responsibility for all of
Enterprise’s regulated natural gas pipeline
and storage assets and offshore businesses, he will assume
responsibility for over 10,500 miles of regulated NGL pipelines. James
M. Collingsworth, senior vice president, will continue to be directly
responsible for Enterprise’s regulated NGL
pipelines, including the Mid-America, Seminole and Dixie pipelines, and
will report to Lytal.
The partnerships’ unregulated NGL businesses
will be managed by Thomas M. Zulim, senior vice president. Zulim is
returning to the NGL business group after spending the last four years
managing the human resources organization for privately held EPCO, Inc.,
which employs all of the personnel that manage, operate and administer
Enterprise’s assets. In his new role, Zulim
will lead the partnerships’ natural gas
gathering and processing business and the NGL fractionation, storage,
unregulated NGL pipeline and marketing businesses. This group includes
certain Enterprise natural gas gathering systems that integrate with its
natural gas processing and downstream NGL value chain, such as the San
Juan and Permian natural gas gathering systems. Prior to leading the
human resources group, he served as the commercial attorney supporting
the unregulated NGL businesses and has also previously managed the
partnership’s NGL fractionation business.
The unregulated natural gas businesses will be managed by Christopher R.
Skoog, senior vice president. He will have responsibility for the
partnerships’ non-regulated and intrastate
natural gas pipeline and storage businesses, as well as natural gas
marketing. This business group includes Enterprise’s
Texas Intrastate and Acadian pipeline systems and the Wilson natural gas
storage facility in Texas.
Petrochemical services will continue to be managed by G.R. "Jerry”
Cardillo, vice president. This business group includes the partnerships’
butane isomerization, propylene fractionation and pipeline and octane
additive businesses.
These organizational changes will not have an effect on the reportable
business segments of the partnerships.
