HOUSTON, June 8 -- Leor Energy LP has hired three executives with Deep Bossier trend development experience in East Texas.
Kenton Holliday was appointed executive vice-president of land and acquisitions. He joins Leor Energy from EnCana Oil & Gas (USA) Inc., where he served as a group leader in the company's East Texas division.
Holliday, with more than 29 years of entrepreneurial oil and gas experience, had a key role in EnCana's success in acquiring one the largest acreage positions of Deep Bossier prospects in the industry, Leor said.
Separately, Carlos Roa, a 25-year industry veteran, was appointed Leor Energy's vice-president of exploration.
Roa most recently served as senior geological advisor on the unconventional resources exploration team at ConocoPhillips' unit Burlington Resources Inc., where he worked for 9 years. In this role, Roa developed a geological framework of the entire Deep Bossier trend of East Texas and was directly responsible for the discovery of Savell gas field in Robertson County, Tex.
David M. Tubbs joined Leor Energy as vice-president of operations. He has more than 26 years of engineering experience, 9 of which have been with Burlington Resources, where his most recent role was managing the Deep Bossier drilling program in Robertson and Leon counties.
Tubbs tenure included implementation of a slim-hole well design in East Texas using expandable tubular technology resulting in savings of more than $1 million/well, and a cost-management program that over 2 years saw the cost/ft of drilling remain constant despite rising services costs and a 200% increase in rig rates.
