We begin our 25 Influential Women In Energy week of interviews with Denise Cox, president, American Association of Petroleum Geologists and president, Storm Energy.
She began her petroleum career after graduating in 1985 from the University of Colorado with a master’s degree in geology. Cox spent nearly 20 years working for Marathon Oil Co., specializing in the application of technology to the petroleum business, unconventional resources and coalbed methane development.
Soon after joining Marathon, Cox got a crash course on the industry’s cyclical nature when the price of oil fell to $10 per barrel. She survived the company’s first round of layoffs in 1986 with a better understanding of the business.
Get the nomination form for 2020. Deadline for submissions is Friday, August 30, 2019.
