Greg Leveille

Greg Leveille is a Board Member at ResFrac, where he brings extensive experience in technology leadership, unconventional resource development, and geothermal energy, including five years as Chief Technology Officer of ConocoPhillips.

Greg served as ConocoPhillips’ Chief Technology Officer from March 1, 2016, through the end of January 2021. In this and prior senior leadership roles, he profoundly influenced the direction of the company by having:

• Led the organization that assembled ConocoPhillips’ acreage positions in the sweet spots of the Eagle Ford and Bakken unconventional reservoir plays.
• Predicted in February 2012 that U.S. oil production would grow rapidly enough to collapse global oil prices by the middle of the decade – a prediction that caused ConocoPhillips to develop a “Tidal Wave” planning scenario that nearly perfectly foretold actual events.
• Helped influence the company to: (i) adopt cost of supply as its primary investment decision criteria, (ii) focus on lowering cost of supply by vigorously pursuing technology advancements and other forms of innovation, and (iii) sell high cost of supply assets.
• Championed the use of data analytics and other digital technologies to further reduce cost of supply (in partnership with ConocoPhillips’ CIO).
• Caused increased emphasis to be placed upon accelerated adoption of successful innovations, thereby reducing time to value realization.

Positions of significant responsibility held outside ConocoPhillips prior to his retirement from the company included but were not limited to:

• Served as chairman of the Executive Advisory Board for the Unconventional Resources Technology Conference (URTeC).
• Chaired the Society of Petroleum Engineers’ U.S. Advisory Council.
• Was a member of the University of Houston’s Energy Advisory Board, HPE Data Science Institute Advisory Board, and Dean’s Advisory Board for the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics.

During his career with ConocoPhillips, Leveille represented the company at over 150 external events, including: (i) engagements with investors, industry analysts, members of the U.S. Congress, and other governmental entities, (ii) presentations at industry technical conferences, (iii) meetings with senior leaders of national oil companies, (iv) ambassadorial roles for the industry at green energy forums, and (v) public and university outreach efforts.

Since retiring in 2021, Leveille has concentrated on helping the geothermal power production industry achieve liftoff. He has worked with geothermal power developers, VC & PE firms, universities, professional societies, and oil & gas companies on a wide variety of projects. He has also given over 30 presentations, published three technical papers, and engaged literally hundreds of the geothermal industry’s leaders and subject matter experts.
