“How becoming CEO can be lonely” with Denzil West, Admiral Permian Resources CEO.

Today we are releasing one of our featured episodes from the DUG Permian Conference Denzil West, the CEO of Admiral Permian. If you did not get a chance to attend the conference this year we highly recommend coming to the next DUG Permian Conference, in May of 2022. It is one of the best events in the industry.

With over 35 years in the industry and growing up in the Permian, Denzil felt at home working in oil and gas. Growing up he didn’t think he would follow in his dad's footsteps. When he graduated college he was newly married and the energy industry was calling his name, it was a natural fit. He started his career at ARCO Oil and Gas, where he worked as a reservoir and production engineer for several years. He was instrumental and led the effort to grow and successfully monetize four other private companies, two of which were in the oil and gas business.

In 2006 he went to work for Reliance energy after working for himself for 10 years. Denzil talks about the difference between being your own boss or working for someone else. We discuss failure and the impact it has on your success. Denzil talks about his strategies to get past the hard times, especially during the pandemic. 

Denzil discusses his strategies on ESG and how Admiral is ahead of the game. They culturally are an E - S - G stewart. He brings up an interesting perspective on how it could even be considered “insulting'' to assume companies like Admiral haven’t focused on their environmental impact, when they have all along.
