Rick is the fourteenth recipient of the magazine’s annual award, joining
previous honorees such as Harold Hamm from Continental Resources, Chuck
Davidson from Noble Energy, Scott Sheffield from Pioneer Natural
Resources and Jim Hackett from Anadarko Petroleum.
Oil and Gas Investor selected Muncrief this year for “completely
retooling the portfolio and cost structure of the company to become one
of the leading performers in its class, with ample room to grow.”
Muncrief joined WPX in May 2014 and has overseen more than $6 billion in
transactions to increase the company’s gross drillable locations
sevenfold. In a span of just over 18 months, WPX amassed more than
120,000 net acres in the Permian’s Delaware Basin where it has an
estimated 6,400 gross drillable locations.
He also is a member of the board of the American Petroleum Institute and
the American Exploration & Production Council. Muncrief has 36 years of
upstream and midstream experience.
“I’m personally humbled but grateful to see WPX in the spotlight. This
honor speaks to the tremendous efforts that our entire organization has
accomplished,” Muncrief said.
