Dunbar will join Colonial Pipeline, effective Jan. 6, from ONEOK, a midstream service provider connecting NGL supply in the Midcontinent, Permian Basin and Rocky Mountain regions.
Joe Blount, president and CEO of Colonial Pipeline, said in a statement commenting on the appointment: “Wes has more than 30 years of experience in the energy industry, and his experience in pipeline operations will strengthen our team as we continue to deliver excellence in everything we do.”
An Oklahoma native, Dunbar began his career at Oklahoma Natural Gas in 1989. He later joined ONEOK in 2001. Since 2010, he has been responsible for operations of both ONEOK’s interstate and intrastate pipelines as its vice president of natural gas pipeline operations.
