Southwestern Energy Co. (SWN) CFO R. Craig Owen has resigned to take the same position at Rosehill Resources. SWN is focused on the Appalachian Basin and Fayetteville Shale, while Rosehill operates in the Permian Basin’s Delaware sub-basin. Owen has worked for SWN nearly nine years and has been CFO since 2012. Owen will remain in his position to assist with a transition through late June. SWN Senior Vice President Jennifer Stewart of tax and treasury has been named acting financial chief; she joined SWN in 2010. Owen’s departure comes after SWN spent much of 2016 in a defensive position weathering the commodities downturn; it’s since been ramping back up.
