Tulsa, Oklahoma-based ONEOK Inc. has announced two executive leadership appointments, effective immediately, according to a Jan. 6 press release. The appointments follow the buy and sell of some assets in late 2024.
ONEOK closed on its acquisition of Medallion Midstream in late October 2024 and on its sale of three natural gas pipelines to DT Midstream for $1.2 billion in late December.
Medallion Midstream Founder and CEO Randy N. Lentz is now taking on the newly created role of executive vice president and COO to oversee all of ONEOK’s asset operations.
