New manager for Marathon in Alaska

Marathon Oil Corp. has appointed Wade Hutchings as its Alaska asset team manager, replacing Carri Lockhart. Hutchings will oversee Marathon’s production, development, safety, environmental and financial activity in Alaska, the company says.

Prior to this new assignment Hutchings was Marathon’s manager of upstream technical excellence, overseeing the company’s programs for career development, knowledge sharing and quality assurance for engineers and geoscientists. Hutchings joined Marathon in 2000 as a geologist in the company’s Gulf of Mexico exploration group. His more recent roles have included planning and portfolio manager for Marathon’s exploration division, and subsurface manager for the Oklahoma/East Texas gas team.
