Parsley Energy’s Bryan Sheffield Signs Off As CEO

“It’s great to conclude my time as CEO on a high note,” Bryan Sheffield said before turning the call over to Matt Gallagher, who will succeed Sheffield as CEO of Parsley Energy starting in January. (Source: Parsley Energy Inc./Hart Energy)

On his last call as CEO of Parsley Energy Inc. (NYSE: PE), Bryan Sheffield recalled founding a company in the “sleepy Midland Basin” with no ownership or production but the responsibility to operate vertical wells.

“We value scale, but at the end of the day what we’re really driving for is value,” he said.
