BW Energy Reshuffles Executive Management Team
September 17, 2025

BW Energy has appointed Brice Morlot as Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Thomas Young as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), following management changes at the oil and gas company.
Morlot, who joined BW Energy in 2024 as CFO, brings financial expertise and operational experience in the exploration and production sector. He succeeds Lin Espey, who stepped down as COO in July.
Young, previously the Chief Strategy Officer, has been part of the company since inception and overseen the development of its growth strategy. He has played a key role in the company’s financing activities, leveraging a wide range of strategy, economics and corporate finance competencies.
“The appointments reflect our strategy to promote from within and build on existing strengths. Brice and Thomas have contributed significantly to BW Energy’s development, and I am very confident they will continue to do so in their new roles as we execute our plan to increase production to ~90,000 barrels per day in 2028.
“I would also like to thank Lin Espey for his leadership and dedication. He has been instrumental in taking the company to where it is today, and I wish him the best in his future endeavors,” said Carl K. Arnet, the CEO of BW Energy.
