Saad Ehtisham, former chief nursing officer at Via Christi Hospitals in Wichita, has been named an honoree in Modern Healthcare magazine’s 2012 Top 25 Minority Executives in Healthcare.
Ehtisham left Via Christi in 2010 to become CEO of University Medical Center in Lebanon, Tenn., in metropolitan Nashville.
Modern Healthcare says it received 144 nominations for this year’s slate of executives. Honorees are selected in part by a demonstration to effect change in the industry, service as a mentor to others in the industry and service as a leader in the industry outside of the organization for which they work.
Noble Energy Inc. is selling certain oil and natural gas properties in Kansas to an affiliate of Citation Oil & Gas Corp., a privately held Houston based company, for approximately $140 million, according to a news release issued Monday by the company.
The sale is expected to close in September.
The Houston-based Noble Energy is selling its interest in about 250 producing wells on approximately 14,000 acres. Net production was about 1,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day and proved reserves were approximately 7 million barrels of oil equivalent, according to the release. Production is almost entirely crude oil.
The sales are part of the company’s onshore no-core divestment plan, according to a statement from David L. Stover, Noble Energy’s president and COO. “These transactions, along with the sales of our Dumbarton and Lochranza assets in the North Sea, are expected to generate approximately $1.1 billion of after-tax proceeds by the end of the third quarter,” Stover said.
