Apache names operations, development leads

Apache Corp. has made executive leadership changes within the redesigned organizational structure. The new design is organized around three functional pillars: operations, development, and exploration.

Clay Bretches was named executive vice-president of operations, and David Pursell was named executive vice-president of development. The search for the leader of exploration is ongoing.

Bretches will continue to serve in his role as chief executive officer and president of Altus Midstream Co., a controlled subsidiary of Apache.

David Pursell previously served as Apache’s executive vice president of planning, reserves, and fundamentals.
