WPX Energy officially named J. Kevin Vann as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Vann has more than 20 years of experience in accounting and risk management.

Vann had been serving in both roles on an interim basis since March. He was with WPX during its spinoff, having served as the company's controller since 2006 and also as its chief accounting officer.

'I really appreciate Kevin's ability, confidence and outlook,' said Rick Muncrief, WPX president and chief executive officer. 'He's well regarded throughout the organization and is eager to be a part of the team that is charged with transforming WPX and delivering improved performance, both financially and operationally.'
