David Johnston has joined Armstrong Alaska’s team as manager of engineering. Johnston, former senior vice president of ASRC Energy Services, said he will primarily work for Armstrong Alaska, but he will also do some work outside the state for Denver-based Armstrong Oil and Gas.

Johnston will report to Stu Gustafson, vice president operations for Armstrong Oil. “David ... will be a real asset to Armstrong. He will be working with me to develop and implement the exploration and initial production programs at Two Bits on Alaska’s North Slope,” Gustafson said Aug. 9.

Gustafson said Johnston’s “extensive production and operations experience will be a great asset” in working with Armstrong’s North Slope partners, Kerr-McGee and Pioneer Natural Resources, “towards potential production plans.”
