Lifetime Achievement Awards Dinner
14 October 2021
Houston, Texas
Our Lifetime Achievement Award celebrates the triumphs and successes of those individuals who have made a true difference in their industry. These executives are responsible for pioneering new frontiers, pushing boundaries, for inspiring others and for achieving growth in challenging markets as well as giving back to the communities. They are those that we should be proud of and that we benchmark industry excellence to.
Given the theme of structural change and industry consolidation across the sector, we will also be introducing a “Deal of the Year” award for the first time this year.

2021 RECIPIENTS
The Energy Council is excited to bring together the oil & gas industry to celebrate the careers of John Sellers & Cody Campbell, Co-CEOs of Double Eagle. After meeting in junior high, playing football together at Canyon High School and then attending Texas Tech University, Cody & John have morphed their friendship into one of the most dynamic duos the Permian Basin has ever seen. After some humble beginnings in 2006, Sellers & Campbell began flipping oil & gas leases in 2009 and since have made ~$10 billion in exits, including their most recent sale to Pioneer Natural Resources for $6.4 billion in April 2021.

The winner will be elected via a public vote and will be selected based on the number of votes received
