PDC Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: PDCE) said Jan. 4 it appointed R. Scott Meyers, the Denver-based company's current chief accounting officer, to the position of CFO, effective immediately.

David Honeyfield, PDC's previous CFO for roughly a year, resigned from the company contemporaneously with Meyers' appointment. His resignation did not result from a disagreement with PDC relating to its operations, policies or practices, including its accounting policies and procedures, according to the company press release.

Meyers has been PDC's chief accounting officer since April 2009. In his new role, Meyers will be responsible for financial and treasury functions, as well as other related duties, and he will continue to head the company's accounting team.

Bart Brookman, PDC's CEO, said in a statement, "Scott has been a key part of the PDC team for almost a decade and has been integral in the success of our company. We are very pleased that he has accepted the expanded role and we're confident that he is very qualified for the job."

Prior to joining PDC, Meyers served as a senior manager with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC and Schneider Downs & Co. Inc. He holds a B.S. in accounting from Grove City College in Pennsylvania.

PDC has primary operations in the Wattenberg Field in Colorado and the Delaware Basin in Reeves and Culberson counties, Texas. The company also has operations in the Utica Shale in Southeastern Ohio, which it plans to divest, the release said.
