Bob Boswell is an experienced oil and gas corporate executive with a strong-track record of managing and growing both public and private exploration and production companies. Under Bob's leadership, Laramie I raised over $200 million from its private equity investors in May 2004 which it invested, together with a conservative level of bank debt, in a major field development in the southern end of the Piceance Basin. Three years later, in May 2007, Bob and his team sold this project to Plains Exploration and Production for over $1 billion. By June 2007, Bob had reassembled the core team into Laramie Energy II, raised over $300 million from its repeat investors, and acquired a new set of underdeveloped assets in Garfield County, Colorado.
Prior to co-founding Laramie I in early 2004, Bob was Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Forest Oil Corporation (FST:NYSE), a large independent oil and gas exploration and production company headquartered in Denver, Colorado. He joined Forest Oil's Board of Directors in 1987 and in 1989 was recruited to be its Chief Financial Officer. Bob became President of Forest Oil in 1993 and its Chief Executive Officer in 1995.
Prior to his fourteen years with Forest Oil, Bob spent most of his career as with Adams Affiliates, a Tulsa-based conglomerate owned by the family of the former Phillips Petroleum Chief Executive Officer, "Boots" Adams. Adams Affiliates' investments spanned oil and gas E&P, oil field services, real estate, and ranching. Bob was initially the company's Chief Financial Officer and subsequently its Chief Operating Officer and President.
Bob obtained a M.B.A. degree from the University of Texas at Austin and a B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering, Magna Cum Laude, from Vanderbilt University. He is currently a member of the Independent Petroleum Association of America, Colorado Oil & Gas Association, Independent Petroleum Association of the Mountain States, and the All American Wildcatters.
