Producing Returns and Positive Results

Align the goals

To produce optimal results, the organization must be aligned in purpose, plan and incentives. Everyone needs to know what game we’re playing, their position, how we plan to win, and how they win when we win.

Execute and inspect

Forecasting is the simple part, boots on the ground are what truly execute the plan. As such, reporting, communication and inspection of activity from top to bottom within the organization is key to optimizing results. Everyone should know the score at all times during the game, otherwise, how can we be focused on what it takes to win.

constantly improve

Positive results achieving the organization directives should be recognized and rewarded. Negative results become a learning of what can or should be removed from the plan to further improve results. The best of yesterday’s results then set the bar for median expectations tomorrow. If we won district last year, region is the new target, and state after that….

Mission and Purpose

To acquire, develop and produce upstream hydrocarbon resources in order to deliver shareholder returns in the most efficient manner possible.  Efficient development means not only financial efficiency, but also physical and environmental efficiency.  Often, if well planned and executed, optimal development will achieve all three directives.  As demonstrated by the Phoenix team track record, it is possible to improve productivity, reduce costs, reduce environmental impact, improve safety and generate financial returns simultaneously.  The challenge and thrill of this mission is that the goal posts are always moving farther, pushing our team to constantly improve upon yesterday’s results.
