Anadarko Petroleum Corporation has promoted James J. Kleckner—former VP, Operations of Anadarko's Rocky Mountain region—to Executive VP, International and Deepwater Operations.
"Jim's promotion to Executive VP, International and Deepwater Operations, is a reflection of his global operational skills, as well as the success delivered by Anadarko's Rocky Mountain region, under his leadership," said Anadarko Chairman, President and CEO Al Walker. "He brings more than 30 years of experience to this position having served in exploration and production leadership positions in the North Sea, South America, China, the Gulf of Mexico and the U.S. onshore."
Earlier this month, Chesapeake Energy announced Robert Douglas Lawler, former executive VP for offshore and exploration as their new CEO. Lawler will begin the position June 17.
Kleckner will join Bob Daniels, Bob Gwin, Chuck Meloy, and Bobby Reeves, on Anadarko's Executive Committee, reporting to Walker.
"We look forward to having Jim join the Executive Committee as he is a talented energy professional, with a successful track record. I fully expect Jim and Bob Daniels to continue the industry-leading success Anadarko has enjoyed with deepwater exploration and development activities," said Walker.
Kleckner began his career in the oil and natural gas industry in 1981 with Sun Oil Company. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in petroleum engineering from the Colorado School of Mines, and is a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers and the American Petroleum Institute.
