Talos President and Chief Executive Officer Timothy S. Duncan commented, "We are extremely excited to have Bob join our senior leadership team, filling big shoes as he succeeds our friend and co-founder, Steve Heitzman. Bob has a tremendous track record of executive management in all aspects of offshore and deepwater operations, from drilling, major project delivery, production, HSE and business development, both in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and internationally. Bob was one of the key executives that helped build Anadarko's large deepwater asset base, and he has the leadership and skill set to help shape our operational organization as we look toward the future. Steve Heitzman has had a distinguished career spanning over 45 years in the industry. He was a co-founder of Talos, has been a partner of mine for close to 20 years and has had an invaluable impact on our Company. He will always be a friend of the firm, and we cannot thank him enough for helping to build an organization that started with five team members and has since grown to over 430 full-time employees in both the US and Mexico. Steve leaves a lasting legacy on the business and the culture of Talos."

Mr. Abendschein commented, "I'm thrilled to join the Talos team at an exciting period in the Company's history and to help build on the foundation that Steve created in the Operations organization. As we continue to grow in scale and complexity, I look forward to working across the organization to help implement world-class best practices that allow us to grow efficiently and responsibly well into the future."
