Daniel Energy Partners Expands Leadership Team

Sean Mitchell Named CEO as Jeff Dietert Joins DEP

HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Daniel Energy Partners (“DEP”), an independent industry research and strategic events firm serving the global energy sector, made two key leadership announcements today as the firm further expands its research platform and client engagement initiatives.

Sean Mitchell was named Chief Executive Officer of Daniel Energy Partners, while John Daniel remains in his role as Founder and will dedicate his focus to in-basin research. Together, Daniel and Mitchell will continue to offer strategic vision and leadership as DEP advances its mission of fostering unique value for clients within the energy sector by intersecting research and relationships.

In addition, Jeff Dietert will join the team as Managing Director for Research focusing on the Refining and Midstream sectors. Jeff brings more than thirty years of energy industry and capital markets experience to DEP. He most recently served as Vice President of Investor Relations at Phillips 66 and previously spent nearly two decades at Simmons & Company International (now Piper Sandler) as Managing Director and Oil Macro & Independent Refining Analyst. Jeff holds a B.S. in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Oklahoma and an M.B.A. from The University of Texas at Austin.

“These leadership appointments mark an important milestone for Daniel Energy Partners,” said Daniel. “By strengthening the depth and breadth of our team, DEP is better positioned to deliver on its commitment to provide exceptional value to our clients through incomparable industry knowledge and deep-seeded relationships from the C-suite to the field level. Further, I would be remiss if I did not thank all of DEP’s clients who have blessed us with years of support. Our growth has been a team effort – not just the hard work of our employees and partners, but also through the assistance and support of numerous industry friends.”

“Our people have always been the key ingredient to DEP’s industry-leading research and industry outreach – their field level expertise and decades-long relationships intersect to build the DEP Ecosystem,” said Mitchell. “I am honored to lead this team and excited to see it grow with the addition of quality talent like Jeff.”

Mitchell added that DEP has remained fully committed to traditional energy since its inception. “We never wavered when others left the business, but rather continued to invest heavily,” said Mitchell. “That philosophy stands today as we fully anticipate continuing our growth and look forward to making further announcements as the year unfolds.”
