Solaris Energy Infrastructure Bolsters Leadership with Former Aris Water CEO Bill Brock as Co-CEO

In a strategic move poised to ignite new levels of growth and innovation, Solaris Energy Infrastructure has announced the appointment of Bill Brock, a highly respected veteran of the energy sector, as its new Co-Chief Executive Officer. This significant leadership enhancement sees Brock, formerly the Chief Executive Officer of Aris Water Solutions (ARIS), joining forces with existing CEO Kyle Johnston, who will also now hold the title of Co-CEO.

The appointment, effective immediately, signals Solaris's commitment to aggressively pursuing expansion and fortifying its market position.

Bill Brock brings a wealth of experience and a stellar track record, having most recently guided Aris Water Solutions until its successful merger with Permian Resources. His strategic vision and operational acumen are well-documented, making him an invaluable addition to the Solaris executive team. Furthermore, Brock's current role as Chairman of Earthstone Energy (ESTE) underscores his deep engagement and influence within the broader energy landscape.

Kyle Johnston, now Co-CEO alongside Brock, expressed immense enthusiasm for the partnership.

“Bill is an accomplished executive with a long track record of success growing and managing businesses in the energy infrastructure sector,” Johnston stated. He emphasized, “His deep industry knowledge, experience leading a publicly traded company, and strong relationships will be a tremendous asset as we pursue new growth opportunities, strategic initiatives, and continue to expand our business.” This statement highlights the expectation that Brock’s arrival will unlock fresh avenues for development and strengthen Solaris’s strategic capabilities.

Bill Brock himself shared his excitement about stepping into this pivotal role.

“Solaris has established itself as an innovative and high-quality energy infrastructure provider in the Permian Basin, and I am excited to partner with Kyle and the rest of the team to build on that success,” Brock commented. He further articulated his vision for the company’s future, noting, “Solaris is well-positioned for significant growth through organic expansion, M&A, and new service offerings to existing and new customers, and I look forward to contributing to the company's continued success.” His remarks paint a picture of a company poised for dynamic expansion across multiple fronts.

Solaris Energy Infrastructure is renowned for providing critical infrastructure and essential services throughout the full lifecycle of water and other fluids within the demanding oil and gas industry.

This leadership enhancement underscores Solaris’s dedication to not only maintaining its high standards but also to exploring ambitious new horizons, ensuring it remains at the forefront of energy infrastructure solutions in key basins like the Permian.

This dual-CEO structure, featuring two seasoned leaders, is expected to foster a more agile and robust management framework, enabling Solaris to navigate market complexities and seize emerging opportunities with greater efficiency and strategic depth.

The combined expertise of Kyle Johnston and Bill Brock promises a formidable force ready to drive Solaris Energy Infrastructure into a new era of prosperity and leadership.
