Executive Compensation Rising in Sync with Shareholder Payoffs
Published by HART ENERGY
Executive compensation is steadily increasing at an average rate of 8% to10%. This increase largely stems from incentive-based awards that closely align executives with shareholder interests, as discussed in the 2024/2025 Energy Compensation Report. The report analyzes compensation and benefit arrangements of top executives at the largest publicly-traded exploration & production and oil field services firms – along with a snapshot of clean energy companies.
"That's a broader trend we've seen across a longer period in this industry – and across a lot of industries – the push for executives to be better aligned with shareholders.”
In this article, A&M Senior Director Ryan Wells is featured in Hart Energy, where he discusses the strong performance of equity markets following COVID-19 and the role of performance-based long-term incentives (LTI) in driving competitive pay within the oil and gas industry.
