Laredo Petroleum Inc. (NYSE: LPI) said Feb. 5 Patrick Curth will transition to a senior advisor role from senior vice president in anticipation of his retirement in March 2019.
James Courtier, vice president of exploration and geosciences technology, Jason Greenwald, vice president of reservoir engineering and Mark Elliott, vice president of land will jointly assume leadership of the company’s exploration, development and land initiatives and will report directly to Randy Foutch, chairman and CEO.
“The contributions of Pat Curth to Laredo cannot be overstated,” Foutch said. “As one of the original members of the Laredo team, Pat played a major role in the building of the company’s contiguous acreage position, leading our effort to apply horizontal drilling technology in the Permian Basin and building a deep bench of talented geoscience professionals. I have worked closely with Pat for 20 years and appreciate his many contributions to three of my companies and wish him well in his retirement.”
