Prior to joining HEC, Mr. Burr was Vice President-Engineering and Planning with Snyder Oil Corporation in Fort Worth, Texas (“Snyder Oil”) from 1987 until 1999. While at Snyder Oil, his primary responsibilities were to manage an institutional acquisition program (which included all aspects of the acquisition process for identifying, screening, evaluating, due diligence, closing and integration of transactions as well as management and reporting to institutional partners). He continued these responsibilities after Snyder Oil went public in 1990 and was an integral part of all A&D activity including corporate and operating division Mick Law transactions. Following several of Snyder Oil’s significant acquisitions and mergers, Mr. Burr’s additional responsibilities included managing Engineering, Planning, Marketing and Risk Management while running a corporate team that worked between the operating divisions, financial groups, executive management and Board of Directors. This work included strategic planning, E&P project economics and capital allocations, corporate and E&P divisions financial and operating projections, reserve evaluation, marketing, commodity price risk management, reporting for SEC, institutional partners, analysts and coordinating activities with investment and energy bankers on corporate financings and Mick Law activities. He also developed financial and operating performance processes to manage Snyder’s large-scale drilling projects (500+ wells/year) in its key operating divisions (Rockies, Gulf of Mexico, Texas/Louisiana) as well as the integration of its financial and operating systems for its continuous improvement programs to drive operating results.
