BP exec named first president of newly formed Denali gas pipeline firm

A senior executive with BP has been appointed the first president of a new company recently created to build a natural gas pipeline from the North Slope of Alaska to markets in the Lower 48.

Bud E. Fackrell will become the president of Denali — The Alaska Gas Pipeline LLC, formed by BP and ConocoPhillips in early April.

Fackrell comes to the position after serving as the senior vice president of BP’s Alaska Consolidated Team, where he was responsible for all BP operations on the North Slope except Prudhoe Bay. He took the position in August 2006.

Before coming to Alaska, Fackrell was the chief executive officer and general manager of the Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Co. He previously worked for BP in the Rockies and in Egypt. He has more than 33 years of experience in the oil and gas industry.
