Metawells Oil & Gas Appoints New Board President and Finalizes South Plains Petroleum Acquisition
Metawells Oil & Gas has appointed Stefanos Kalogirou as Board President and completed its acquisition of South Plains Petroleum, marking a significant expansion of the company's oil and gas portfolio in key Texas and Louisiana regions.
Metawells Oil & Gas Inc. has announced two major corporate developments that signal a new phase of growth for the development-stage energy company. The company appointed Stefanos Kalogirou as President of the Board of Directors and finalized its acquisition agreement with South Plains Petroleum Inc., positioning the company for expanded operational capabilities in strategic energy regions.
Kaligirou's appointment, effective November 1, 2025, follows the resignation of Ronald Minsky, who will continue serving the company as a senior advisor and consultant. The new board president brings over twenty years of experience in project management and strategic planning, with demonstrated success in leading large-scale projects. His educational background includes a degree from Baruch College, City University of New York.
"I am honored to join the Board of Directors at this pivotal time," Kalogirou stated. "I look forward to advancing Metawells' strategic roadmap and supporting the Company's growth through disciplined execution and new opportunities."
The acquisition of South Plains Petroleum represents a transformative development for Metawells, following several months of negotiations and due diligence. South Plains holds multiple properties in the Eastern Permian Basin of Texas and onshore Louisiana near the Gulf Coast, areas known for significant proven oil and gas reserves ready for development.

"This acquisition marks a transformative step for Metawells," Kalogirou emphasized. "The integration of South Plains' assets will strengthen our portfolio and accelerate our path toward operational expansion." The combination with South Plains Petroleum aligns with Metawells' stated goal of building shareholder value through strategic acquisitions and disciplined project execution.
The Eastern Permian Basin properties acquired through this transaction represent particularly valuable assets, given the region's status as one of the most productive oil fields in the United States. The Louisiana Gulf Coast locations add strategic diversity to Metawells' portfolio, positioning the company to capitalize on multiple energy production regions.
Company officials indicated that further updates regarding leadership initiatives and the South Plains integration will be provided in subsequent announcements. The developments come at a time when energy companies are increasingly focusing on strategic acquisitions to strengthen their positions in key production regions.
