Lance was named Energy Executive of the Year by Energy Intelligence in October 2025, recognizing his strategic focus on durable, low-cost assets and shareholder returns amid volatile energy markets and policy shifts.

Early Life and Education

Childhood in Montana

Ryan Lance grew up in , as the son of a military family with deep roots in the state; his father originated from Billings, while his mother was raised in Wolf Point, and the couple met while studying at . During his high school years at Great Falls High School, Lance obtained early hands-on experience in the energy sector by working as a in the , an oil-producing region spanning parts of and . This formative period in Montana's resource-rich environment laid the groundwork for his subsequent pursuit of .

Academic Background and Initial Industry Exposure

Lance earned a Bachelor of Science degree in petroleum engineering from Montana Technological University in Butte, Montana, graduating in 1984. A native of Great Falls, Montana, he attended Great Falls High School for three years, crediting several teachers there with influencing his development. During his university studies, Lance gained initial hands-on exposure to the oil industry by working on in to help fund his education, an experience he has described as starting "from the ground up." Following graduation, he transitioned into technical roles in the oil and sector, initially with predecessor companies to , including various divisions of Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO) and Phillips Petroleum. This entry-level fieldwork in oil fields built the foundation for his subsequent career progression within upstream operations.

Professional Career

Entry-Level Positions and Technical Roles

Lance began his career in the oil and gas industry immediately following his 1984 graduation with a degree, joining (Atlantic Richfield Company) where he initially undertook engineering positions focused on upstream operations. Over the subsequent years, he held a series of technical roles involving engineering and field operations across key U.S. regions, including Alaska's North Slope, , and , applying petroleum engineering principles to , production, and challenges. These entry-level and mid-career technical assignments at , spanning 17 years until 2001, encompassed hands-on responsibilities in project execution, operational oversight, and technical problem-solving in harsh environments, such as optimizing production on the North Slope. By the late 1990s, his roles evolved to include managerial elements within engineering frameworks, such as leading units like the Kuparuk River field, while retaining a technical core oriented toward enhancing recovery efficiencies and operational safety. Transitioning after ARCO's Alaska assets were acquired by Phillips Petroleum in 2001, Lance continued in technical capacities at predecessor companies, including Burlington Resources, where he contributed to engineering and operations in exploration and development projects prior to ascending into broader management. This foundational phase equipped him with practical expertise in drilling, completions, and , underpinning his later strategic contributions amid industry consolidations like the 2002 Conoco-Phillips merger.

Senior Management Ascendancy Pre-CEO

Lance advanced through successive executive positions at following the company's formation from the 2002 merger of and Phillips Petroleum, where he had held senior management roles at predecessor Phillips Petroleum. His assignments encompassed regional oversight of exploration and production operations in , , , and the , reflecting a broadening scope from domestic to international responsibilities. He also directed technology initiatives, major projects, and downstream strategy, integration, and specialty functions, contributing to operational efficiencies and asset optimization across the integrated energy operations. By the late , Lance had risen to oversee broader upstream functions, culminating in his appointment as Senior Vice President, Exploration and Production—International in the years leading to 2011. In this capacity, he managed ' global portfolio of international assets, which included complex geopolitical environments and diverse resource types, emphasizing cost discipline and production growth amid volatile commodity markets. In October 2011, as prepared to separate its downstream and chemicals businesses into the independent , Lance was designated to lead the core upstream entity, signaling his trajectory toward top leadership in the reoriented exploration and production-focused company. This role leveraged his four decades of technical and managerial experience, including prior leadership in operations at , to position him for the CEO transition amid the structural realignment.

Leadership at ConocoPhillips

Appointment as CEO and Strategic Reorientation

Ryan Lance was appointed chairman and of on May 1, 2012, immediately following the completion of the company's spin-off of its downstream refining, marketing, and assets into the independent entity . This leadership transition had been announced in October 2011, as part of the broader corporate restructuring initiated by outgoing CEO Jim Mulva, positioning Lance to lead the reconfigured upstream-focused . The spin-off distributed one share of to shareholders for every two shares held, effectively separating the integrated operations into specialized entities to enhance and investor appeal. The strategic reorientation under Lance's initial tenure emphasized transforming into a pure-play and production (E&P) company, shedding the volatility and lower margins associated with downstream activities to prioritize high-return upstream investments. This shift enabled targeted capital deployment toward resource-rich assets, with Lance articulating plans for 3-5% annual production growth, projecting output exceeding 1.8 million barrels of oil equivalent per day by 2016 through organic development and . Concurrently, the company committed to strong shareholder returns, including a 32% dividend increase and $17 billion in share repurchases during the repositioning phase, underscoring a disciplined approach to value creation amid fluctuating commodity prices. This E&P-centric model positioned as a leading independent in the sector, allowing for greater agility in responding to market dynamics by focusing on cost-effective drilling, technological advancements in unconventional resources, and selective asset acquisitions rather than diversified operations. Lance's early leadership emphasized resilience, with strategies rooted in maintaining production volumes while enhancing generation to support reinvestment and distributions, setting the foundation for long-term competitiveness in global oil and gas markets.

Key Acquisitions, Operational Focus, and Performance Metrics

Under Lance's leadership, pursued strategic acquisitions to consolidate positions in high-return U.S. basins, particularly the Permian. The company acquired Concho Resources in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $9.7 billion in equity (enterprise value around $13.3 billion), announced on October 19, 2020, and completed on January 15, 2021, enhancing its Delaware Basin footprint with over 1.1 million net acres and adding significant low-cost inventory. In December 2021, it completed an all-cash purchase of Shell's Permian assets for $9.5 billion, securing 225,000 net acres in the Delaware Basin and boosting production capacity by an estimated 100,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOE/d). The most recent major deal was the $22.5 billion all-stock acquisition of , announced May 29, 2024, which added scale in the Eagle Ford and Bakken while delivering projected synergies of $1 billion annually through operational efficiencies and complementary assets. Operationally, under Lance emphasized disciplined capital allocation toward organic development in low-cost, unconventional resources, prioritizing the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford, and Bakken formations for their high returns and inventory depth. Following the 2012 spin-off of downstream assets into , the company streamlined as a pure-play and production firm, divesting non-core international holdings to fund U.S.-focused growth and maintain a strong with investment-grade credit ratings. Strategies included rigorous portfolio management—targeting oil prices below $40 per barrel in key basins—and selective expansion into (LNG) projects in and globally to capture export opportunities, while committing to net-zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2050 through methane reduction and electrification without curtailing core output. This approach balanced production growth with generation, avoiding overexpansion during volatile cycles. Performance metrics reflect robust execution, with production rising from about 1.5 million BOE/d in 2012 to nearly 2.4 million BOE/d by 2025, driven by efficiencies and acquisitions. rebounded to $8.1 billion in 2021 post-pandemic, supported by high commodity prices and cost controls, while returns exceeded $15 billion in 2022 via dividends and buybacks, escalating to a planned $10 billion in 2025 ($4 billion dividends, $6 billion repurchases). In Q2 2025, adjusted reached $1.42, with of $3.5 billion, underscoring resilience amid fluctuating prices through a returns-oriented framework that delivered cumulative distributions surpassing $50 billion since 2012.

Industry Advocacy and Policy Positions

Roles in Trade Associations

Ryan Lance served as chairman of the board of directors of the (API), the primary U.S. representing the oil and industry, from November 2015 to 2016. In this role, he led API's advocacy on policy issues including , regulatory reform, and industry standards. Following his chairmanship, Lance continued as a member of API's Executive Committee, participating in strategic discussions and executive calls on matters such as market conditions and federal policy. Lance also holds the position of vice chairman of the National Petroleum Council (NPC), an independent federal advisory committee chartered by the U.S. Secretary of Energy to provide policy recommendations on oil and matters. In this capacity, he contributes to analyses of domestic energy production, supply chains, and technological advancements, with reports informing Department of Energy strategies. His involvement underscores ' emphasis on upstream operations and resource development. Through these roles, Lance has influenced industry-wide positions on topics such as permitting and policies, aligning with empirical assessments of global and supply dynamics.

Stances on Energy Security, Fossil Fuels, and Transition Realities

Ryan Lance has consistently emphasized the critical role of reliable domestic energy production in bolstering national and global , particularly through expanded U.S. oil and output. In a 2015 address to the U.S. , he advocated for lifting the ban on crude oil s, arguing that it would sustain the domestic benefits of the , including job creation and reduced reliance on foreign suppliers, while enhancing geopolitical leverage. He reiterated this in testimony before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee that year, stating that export policies could increase U.S. production by up to 1.5 million barrels per day by 2020, thereby improving without compromising environmental protections. Lance has critiqued policy missteps that deprioritized security, noting in March 2022 at that underinvestment in supply—driven by regulatory hurdles and insufficient permitting—exacerbated global shortages, and that "should have never left the world's frontburner." More recently, in March 2025, he praised the incoming Trump administration's energy team for prioritizing security through streamlined permitting and resource development, contrasting it with prior approaches that he viewed as hindering supply growth. On fossil fuels, Lance maintains that oil and natural gas remain indispensable for meeting rising global demand, which he projects to continue amid economic growth in developing regions. In ConocoPhillips' sustainability messages, he has affirmed the company's commitment to responsibly producing these resources, underscoring their role in providing affordable, dispatchable energy that renewables cannot yet fully replicate at scale. He has pushed back against narratives of an oil "glut," stating in October 2025 at the Energy Intelligence Forum that physical market indicators—such as tight inventories and sustained trade flows—contradict bearish forecasts, with U.S. shale output at risk of plateauing under persistent low prices around $60-70 per barrel. Lance describes the ongoing global energy shift not as a displacement of fossils but as an "energy addition," where hydrocarbons underpin baseload needs while intermittent sources expand, supported by empirical trends showing fossil fuels comprising over 80% of primary energy as of 2023. Regarding energy transition realities, Lance advocates a pragmatic approach that acknowledges technological and infrastructural hurdles, warning against overly aggressive timelines that risk supply disruptions. In December 2021, he described the transition as potentially "messy" and "chaotic" if policymakers prioritize supply curtailment over demand management, citing Europe's post-2022 gas shortages as evidence of reliability failures from premature fossil fuel phase-outs. He highlighted inherent conflicts in January 2022, where governments demand secure supplies yet impose regulatory attacks on the industry, asserting that "you are just not going to get it all" without balanced investment in both legacy and low-carbon technologies. While ConocoPhillips under Lance adopted a Paris-aligned plan in 2020 targeting net-zero operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 2050 through methane reductions and carbon capture, he has stressed that Scope 3 emissions from product use require global collaboration and that fossil fuels must bridge gaps until alternatives mature, as evidenced by stagnant renewable penetration rates below 15% of global electricity in recent years. In March 2023, he called for U.S. permitting reforms to accelerate all energy projects, including carbon capture, to avoid transition pitfalls.

Recognition and Contributions

Professional Awards and Honors

In 2021, Lance received the inaugural Chancellor's Award of Distinction from , his , on September 24, marking the institution's highest honor for contributions in and professional achievement. Later that year, on October 13, he was awarded the McLane in Business Award by the Mosbacher Institute for at Texas A&M University's George Bush School of Government and , recognizing his strategic oversight of amid volatile energy markets. On October 10, 2025, Energy Intelligence named Lance the 29th Energy Executive of the Year, citing his role in driving ' operational efficiency, portfolio optimization, and shareholder returns exceeding 20% annualized total return since 2012. The award, selected by an independent panel of experts, highlights executives advancing global energy supply security and innovation, with Lance scheduled to accept it at the Energy Intelligence Forum in .

Philanthropic Efforts and Educational Support

Ryan Lance and his wife, Lisa, have directed substantial personal philanthropy toward educational initiatives, with a primary focus on , Lance's from which he graduated in 1984 with a degree in . In April 2023, they made a historic $31 million donation—the largest in the institution's 123-year history—to fund scholarships, academic programs, research endeavors, and workforce training specifically targeting Montana students pursuing careers in energy, engineering, and related fields. This gift builds on prior contributions, including a $1 million donation in 2017 to support university programs and an additional $1 million pledged in April 2023 during a fundraising auction benefiting student scholarships. Beyond direct financial support, Lance engages in philanthropy through board service that advances youth development and conservation. He serves on the board of International, a charity aiding underprivileged youth in oil-producing regions via educational and recreational programs. As a of the George and Foundation, he contributes to efforts promoting literacy and education access, and he supports PGA Reach, which delivers youth golf programs emphasizing life skills and community engagement. Additionally, his role on the board of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation underscores commitments to , aligning with broader philanthropic priorities in . These involvements reflect a consistent emphasis on fostering future generations in technical, environmental, and community-building domains.

Criticisms and Controversies

Environmental Activist Claims and Empirical Counterpoints

Environmental activists, including organizations such as and the Natural Resources Defense Council, have opposed ' Willow oil project in Alaska's National Petroleum Reserve, approved by the Biden administration on March 13, 2023, claiming it would emit between 200 and 686 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent over 30 years, equivalent to the annual emissions of several major cities, while threatening caribou calving grounds, , and Indigenous subsistence practices. These groups filed lawsuits alleging violations of the (NEPA) and inadequate assessment of cumulative climate impacts, with some Indigenous organizations like Native Movement citing risks to from potential spills and air toxics. Empirical reviews by federal agencies, however, found the project's environmental impact statement compliant with NEPA after modifications, including the denial of two of five proposed drill pads, reducing the footprint by approximately 28% and limiting infrastructure to minimize wildlife disruption. ConocoPhillips implemented measures such as gravel mine relocation outside caribou habitats and seismic monitoring to protect bowhead whale migrations, with projected operational emissions offset by company-wide methane capture technologies; independent assessments, including those from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, confirmed no unacceptable adverse effects on endangered species after mitigation. Two local Alaska Native governments initially critical later withdrew opposition following economic benefit evaluations, including up to 1,800 construction jobs and $13 billion in state revenue over the project's life. Broader activist critiques portray Lance's leadership as enabling "climate crimes" through ConocoPhillips' 1.8 billion barrels of oil equivalent production in 2023 and 16 million metric tons of Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions in 2022, accusing the firm of greenwashing by prioritizing fossil fuel expansion over rapid decarbonization. In contrast, under Lance since 2012, ConocoPhillips reduced methane emissions intensity by 60% from 2015 to 2023 through leak detection campaigns and equipment upgrades, achieving a 25% overall GHG intensity decline from 2016 baselines by 2023, with a strengthened target of 50-60% reduction by 2030 on an equity basis. The company allocated $300 million in 2023 for operational emissions abatement, including electrification and carbon capture pilots, contributing to U.S. natural gas sector methane cuts verified by the Environmental Defense Fund and industry studies co-chaired by Lance, which documented a 59% drop in U.S. oil and gas methane emissions from 2015 projections. These reductions align with causal factors in emissions profiles: , a potent short-lived , constitutes a disproportionate share of oil and gas impacts, and targeted interventions like those at ' assets have yielded measurable declines per satellite and ground-based data, outpacing many peers despite production growth. Activist sources, often affiliated with advocacy networks emphasizing de-growth narratives, frequently omit such operational data in favor of end-use attribution, which overlooks supply-side efficiencies and the role of in displacing higher-carbon in global energy mixes.

Workforce and Operational Challenges

In September 2025, announced plans to reduce its global workforce by 20% to 25%, affecting approximately 2,600 to 3,250 of its roughly 13,000 employees, with the majority of cuts occurring by the end of the year. The followed the integration of assets from the 2024 acquisition and aimed to streamline operations amid escalating costs that had eroded the company's competitiveness. CEO Ryan Lance attributed the need for these reductions to internal lapses in cost discipline, stating that a focus on had diverted attention from core operational efficiencies. Controllable costs had risen to about $13 per barrel, with overall expenses increasing by roughly $2 per barrel, complicating the firm's ability to maintain low-cost production in key basins like the Permian. Lance acknowledged personal responsibility, noting, "I fault myself for not paying more attention," as the company sought to eliminate redundant roles and reduce overhead post-deal. Operationally, these challenges compounded broader pressures from volatile oil prices and slower demand growth, though Lance emphasized that the cuts were primarily driven by self-inflicted inefficiencies rather than external market oversupply. The firm notified employees via video message and planned to begin layoffs in November 2025, targeting non-essential functions to preserve field operations. No widespread labor disputes or union actions were reported in connection with the reductions, reflecting ' largely non-unionized U.S. workforce structure. Industry-wide talent retention issues, particularly for skilled engineers and retaining female employees amid demanding field roles, have persisted under Lance's leadership, though has invested in diversity initiatives without resolving high attrition rates in technical positions. These workforce strains, exacerbated by post-pandemic labor shortages, contributed to elevated operational costs prior to the 2025 restructuring.
