       Feb 3 (Reuters) - Independent power producer Talos
Energy  TALO.N  said on Monday it has named Shell  SHEL.L 
executive Paul Goodfellow as its CEO, effective March 1.
    Goodfellow will succeed Talos' founder and long-time CEO Tim
Duncan, who stepped down in August after serving more than 12
years as the U.S. oil and gas firm's top boss.
    On Feb. 2, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters
that Talos was likely to appoint Goodfellow as its next CEO.
    Goodfellow has over 30 years of domestic and international
experience in the oil and natural gas industry.
        Talos was started by Tim Duncan in 2012, with the
backing of private equity firms Apollo Global Management and
Riverstone Holdings.
    Since Duncan's departure, Talos weathered a spat with top
shareholder Carlos Slim, whose investment firm holds a 24% stake
in the company and briefly adopted a so-called poison pill to
prevent the Mexican billionaire from trying to take control.
