US gas exporter Delfin Midstream has named LNG industry veteran Oscar Spieler as its new executive chairman with immediate effect.

The US-listed company said the former Frontline and Golar LNG chief executive brings “relevant expertise” having led the development and execution of the floating LNG Hilli Episeyo, the first FLNG vessel at Golar LNG.

Delfin chief executive Dudley Poston said Spieler brings a “wealth of knowledge and expertise” across the LNG value chain to the company.
