Permian Basin Executive Search

The Permian Basin is the most prolific oil producing region in the United States and one of the most active executive talent markets in the energy industry. Stretching across West Texas and southeastern New Mexico, the Permian has attracted major operators, independents, midstream companies, and energy services firms competing aggressively for a finite pool of experienced senior leadership.

PRL International conducts retained executive search for companies operating across the Permian Basin. Our searches cover VP of Operations, Director of Engineering, Drilling Manager, Completions Manager, Production Manager, Midstream Operations Director, Land Manager, HSE Director, VP of Business Development, 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 Permian Basin operations. 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 West Texas unconventional development.

Permian Basin leadership searches require technical precision. The Delaware Basin and Midland Basin have different geological and operational characteristics. A completions engineer with Delaware Basin horizontal experience brings a different skillset than one whose career has been in Midland Basin vertical development. PRL International searches with those distinctions in mind and presents only candidates who match 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 Permian Basin experience your company requires — whether they are looking or not.

Every placement is backed by a 90-day replacement guarantee.
