Fairwood Peninsula Energy Corp., the parent company and 100%-owner of Delfin LNG LLC, announced the appointment of Daniel “Dan” Werner as Chief Operating Officer. Dan was previously Senior Vice President of Commercial at Golar LNG and brings more than 25 years of experience in the development, negotiation, and implementation of natural gas and LNG trading, transportation, and tolling agreements.
Dan played a critical role in Golar LNG’s evolving floating liquefaction business, providing him intimate knowledge of industry developments in the United States Gulf Coast, Africa, Canada, Asia and Latin America. His efforts have included commercial structuring and development of key baseline project and tolling agreements. Over the past two years, Dan was also a principal on the team that negotiated and delivered multiple technical and commercial agreements related to the conversion of two Golar LNG carriers into floating LNG production vessels.
Prior to Golar LNG, Dan’s professional experience included senior leadership roles with BG Group, Sempra LNG, and El Paso Energy in the areas of LNG procurement and marketing, natural gas marketing, transportation, and project development. He has also been responsible for oversight of permitting, engineering, construction, and operations of natural gas surface production and midstream facilities. Dan also holds several patents related to pipeline construction technology.
Throughout his career, Mr. Werner has resided and worked in the United States, Mexico, West Africa, UK, Egypt, and Singapore. He holds an MBA in Finance and Marketing and a Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering. Mr. Werner will be based in Fairwood LNG’s headquarters in Houston, Texas.
Frederick Jones, Chief Executive Officer of Fairwood LNG and Founder of Delfin LNG, commented: "We are very pleased to be adding an individual of Dan’s caliber to the Fairwood LNG team. As Fairwood LNG continues to develop the first floating liquefaction project in the United States, Delfin LNG, we could not think of someone better qualified to further advance the project’s commercial and technical aspects. Further, we believe Dan’s decision to leave a prominent midstream LNG company to join Fairwood LNG is a strong endorsement of the quality of Delfin LNG."
Dan Werner commented, "I am thrilled to be joining a first-class, high-growth company like Fairwood LNG. Having been a principal at one of the leading floating liquefaction companies, I have studied the full spectrum of proposed liquefaction projects and can say with the utmost confidence that Delfin LNG is one of the most attractive projects in the world. I look forward to helping make Delfin LNG the first floating liquefaction project in the United States and to developing further growth opportunities for Fairwood LNG going forward."
