BKV Corp. has created a new executive leadership position—chief commercial officer—and placed Dilanka Seimon in the position to head BKV’s commercial midstream, gas marketing and new products teams.

Seimon has over 20 years of experience in the energy value chain, according to the April 3 press release.

He has held strategic and commercial roles across the upstream and midstream sectors. His most recent position was at EnLink Midstream as the company’s executive vice president and chief commercial officer.

"Dilanka has broad, highly relevant experience within publicly traded companies identifying strategic and commercial opportunities, successfully setting and managing market development and expansion expectations with key stakeholders through multiple stages of growth," said Chris Kalnin, CEO of BKV.

BKV is headquartered in Denver, Colorado, and is one of the largest natural gas producers in the Barnett Shale.

"His extensive background in advancing markets for gas, power and carbon, combined with his strategic vision, will be critical as we aim to strengthen BKV's position in the upstream, midstream, carbon capture and growing power market with a focus on driving long-term value,” Kalnin said.
