HOUSTON, Sept. 8 -- Logan Magruder joined Berry Petroleum Co., Bakersfield, Calif., as vice-president of its Denver-based Rockies and Midcontinent region.

He has worked most of this year as an acquisitions consultant for Berry (OGJ Online, Feb. 27, 2003). Recently, Berry closed a $48.6 million acquisition of Williams Production RMT Co.'s Brundage Canyon properties in northeast Utah (OGJ, May 19, 2003, p. 39).

Magruder said Berry plans to commence a drilling program there this year.

Previously, Magruder served in Denver as vice-president, US operations, for the Houston-based Calpine Natural Gas Co. Before that, he worked 5 years for Denver-based Barrett Resources Corp., which Williams Cos. Inc. acquired (OGJ Online, May 7, 2001).
