SCOOP STACK Executive Search Oklahoma

The SCOOP and STACK plays in central Oklahoma have become two of the most active unconventional development areas in the United States. The South Central Oklahoma Oil Province and the Sooner Trend Anadarko Basin Canadian and Kingfisher counties plays have attracted major operators and independents seeking experienced senior leadership capable of managing complex horizontal development programs in a competitive and technically demanding environment.

PRL International conducts retained executive search for companies operating across the SCOOP and STACK plays. 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 mid-continent 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 Oklahoma unconventional development. He understands the specific technical requirements of SCOOP and STACK operations and what separates candidates with genuine play experience from those with only adjacent basin backgrounds.

SCOOP and STACK leadership searches require precision. The two plays have different geological characteristics, different completion approaches, and different operational demands. A drilling manager with deep STACK horizontal experience brings a different profile than one whose career has been focused on SCOOP 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 SCOOP and STACK experience your company requires — whether they are looking or not.

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