Eagle Ford Shale Executive Search
The Eagle Ford Shale formation in South Texas is one of the most significant tight oil and natural gas plays in the United States. Stretching across a narrow band from the Mexican border northeast toward East Texas, the Eagle Ford has attracted major operators, independents, and midstream companies that require experienced senior leadership capable of managing complex unconventional operations in a demanding environment.
PRL International conducts retained executive search for companies operating across the Eagle Ford Shale. Our searches cover VP of Operations, Director of Engineering, Drilling Manager, Completions Manager, Production Manager, Land Manager, HSE Director, and senior technical and operational leadership across upstream, midstream, and energy services.
Philip Lamb has placed senior oil and gas leaders for ExxonMobil, Marathon, Occidental Petroleum, and Halliburton — companies with significant South Texas operations and Gulf Coast infrastructure. His 30 years of relationships across the oil and gas industry give him direct access to the senior technical and operational leaders who have built careers in Texas unconventional development.
Eagle Ford leadership searches require an understanding of what makes this play distinct. The Eagle Ford produces oil, condensate, and dry gas depending on the geographic window, and operations vary significantly across the play. A production engineer with experience in the oil window brings a different profile than one whose career has been in the dry gas or condensate windows. PRL International searches with that precision and presents only candidates whose experience matches the specific requirements of your operation.
We work exclusively on a retained basis. Every search receives our full attention from intake to offer. We reach out directly to the specific individuals who have the Eagle Ford experience your company requires — whether they are looking or not.
Every placement is backed by a 90-day replacement guarantee.
