US oil and gas company Talos Energy said on Monday its interim chief executive officer, Joseph Mills, has stepped down, effective immediately.
Mills was appointed after CEO Tim Duncan stepped down on August 29 last year after serving more than 12 years as the firm's top boss.
Houston, Texas-based Talos said it has identified a candidate to serve as the company's CEO and is in the final stages of the selection process.
The company expects the candidate to join by the end of the current quarter.
Talos added that the departure of Mills, who also stepped down as the interim president, is unrelated to any operational issues or accounting matters.
