The North Dakota Industrial Commission voted unanimously Wednesday to select a candidate who made his career in the oil and gas industry to be the state’s top oil regulator.

Nathan Anderson is slated to take over as Department of Mineral Resources director on Sept. 16, an announcement from the Industrial Commission indicated.

The Minot native works for Chevron and owns a company called 3B Investments. He holds a bachelor’s degree in geology from North Dakota State University.

In his interview with the Industrial Commission, Anderson expressed a commitment to keeping North Dakota a competitive energy state.

“One hundred percent, North Dakota will have a seat at the energy table — and a front row seat at that,” Anderson said at the July 30 meeting.
