LNG Energy Group Appoints David Lawler as New Director
LNG Energy Group has appointed David Lawler to its board of directors.
“We are thrilled to welcome Dave to our board. He brings a wealth of knowledge and industry experience with a stellar track record of responsible business growth, governance, and unconventional/shale expertise. We look forward to his input and guidance as we aim to build Latin America’s next energy platform,” said Pablo Navarro, chairman and chief executive officer of LNG Energy Group.
David Lawler is a 30-year veteran of the energy industry and was the chairman and president of BP America and served as BP’s chief representative in the United States until 2023. During his tenure, he led the company’s net zero strategy through supporting the shift into an integrated energy company, expanding the company’s presence in convenience and mobility, and increasing investment in low-carbon energy.
From 2014-2023, Lawler also served as CEO of BPX Energy, BP’s onshore oil & gas team in the U.S. In 2018 he led the $10.5 billion acquisition of BHP’s onshore oil and gas assets, BP’s largest U.S. acquisition in more than 20 years. Through this acquisition and subsequent investments/partnerships, BPX Energy continues to be one of the largest business units for BP.
Prior to BP, Lawler served as the chief operating officer of SandRidge Energy, the chief executive officer and president of PostRock Energy Corporation and as an engineer for Conoco, Burlington Resources, and Shell. He graduated from the Colorado School of Mines with a Bachelor of Science in petroleum engineering and holds an MBA from Tulane University.
LNG Energy Group is focused on the acquisition and development of oil and gas exploration and production assets in Latin America.
