In an Oct. 20 press release, Nighthawk Energy Plc said Kurtis Hooley will join the company as CFO and company secretary in the Denver office, effective Nov. 7. The company is consolidating the two functions, which had been split between Denver and London offices. Hooley will not join the board, the company added.
Hooley has more than 25 years of financial and operational management experience, including 11 with an international accounting and audit firm and 10 with Double Eagle Petroleum Co., where he was CFO and COO.
Richard Swindells, CFO, and a member of the board, will leave the company effective Nov. 7 and will resign as company secretary and as a director, the company added. Swindells began working for Nighthawk in the U.K. in 2011.
Mike Thomsen, the vice president of geology, left Nighthawk to pursue other opportunities. He helped found the company, Nighthawk said, adding that his departure does not affect the geology team involved in the discovery of the Mississippian Spergen play on the company's acreage.
Nighthawk also reduced its field personnel by two positions.
