Marathon focuses on development of integrated natural gas projects

Oil & Gas Journal

Upstream change afoot
Although Cazalot pointed out that Marathon at 117 years old is "a company with a great history, a long history, a successful history, and the future is even brighter for us," he acknowledged that the company has not always performed at its highest possible level.
"Over the years, there were those who claimed that we couldn't find oil in a service station," he said. However, Cazalot claimed, "That is no longer the case" under Philip G. Behrman, the company's senior vice-president of worldwide exploration.

"One of the changes that has taken place at Marathon is a blend of experience, taking the best of what Marathon has groomed and developed over the many years and complementing that with the expertise from throughout the industry," said Cazalot, who formerly served as vice-president of Texaco Inc. and president of Texaco Exploration & Production Inc. prior to joining Marathon. "That has allowed us to see the difference, to take an objective view of our strategies and our company and of the challenges we face and make the hard choices and make the changes that were needed," he said.
