At press time, West Texas Intermediate was $77 on Nymex for<br />
September delivery, while BP had just announced some 400,000<br />
barrels of daily Prudhoe Bay production would be offl<strong>in</strong>e for possibly<br />
several months dur<strong>in</strong>g repair of some 16 miles of pipel<strong>in</strong>e. September-delivery<br />
Henry Hub gas was trad<strong>in</strong>g at roughly $7, while gas <strong>in</strong> storage rema<strong>in</strong>ed large,<br />
<strong>and</strong> unhedged producers were concerned about forward prices.<br />
This price volatility is what upstream acquisitions <strong>and</strong> divestitures thrive<br />
on—where buyers <strong>and</strong> sellers see the futures market differently.<br />
Nearly 400 of these buyers <strong>and</strong> sellers are profiled <strong>in</strong> these pages this year<br />
<strong>in</strong> our fifth annual directory of go-to personnel with<strong>in</strong> E&P companies for<br />
acquir<strong>in</strong>g <strong>and</strong> divest<strong>in</strong>g assets. They represent some 260 companies, from<br />
major oils to private start-ups.<br />
Contacts for the <strong>in</strong>tegrated oils here represent BP, ExxonMobil, Shell, Total,<br />
Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Marathon, Murphy, Hess Corp. <strong>and</strong> Occidental.<br />
The largest U.S. <strong>in</strong>dependents are here too, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g Devon Energy,<br />
Anadarko Petroleum, Apache, Chesapeake Energy, XTO Energy, Pogo<br />
Produc<strong>in</strong>g, Pioneer Natural Resources, Range Resources, EOG Resources,<br />
Cimarex Energy, Southwestern Energy, Newfield Exploration, Swift Energy<br />
<strong>and</strong> Forest <strong>Oil</strong>.<br />
And, several Canadian companies are <strong>in</strong>cluded: EnCana Corp., Nexen Inc.,<br />
Enerplus <strong>and</strong> Provident, to name a few.<br />
Some of last year’s participants, such as Burl<strong>in</strong>gton Resources, have s<strong>in</strong>ce<br />
been sold. Some <strong>in</strong> this year’s edition were <strong>in</strong> the midst of be<strong>in</strong>g acquired at<br />
press time, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g Stone Energy Corp., Kerr-McGee Corp. <strong>and</strong> Western <strong>Gas</strong><br />
Resources.<br />
Some participants are entirely new, such as Phoenix Exploration, a start-up<br />
by former Gryphon Exploration team members, <strong>and</strong> Lime Rock Resources,<br />
which has been formed with direct <strong>in</strong>stitutional fund<strong>in</strong>g arranged <strong>and</strong><br />
sponsored by private-equity firm Lime Rock Partners.<br />
We hope you f<strong>in</strong>d the <strong>2006</strong> directory useful. Indices are by company <strong>and</strong><br />
also by contact name. And, you’ll f<strong>in</strong>d a directory of A&D advisory firms here<br />
as well.<br />
Until our September 2007 update, may all your deals be good.<br />
