ABOUT ROXANNA OIL COMPANY
Roxanna was founded in 1987 by Marlan W. Downey following his retirement as President of Pecten (Shell) International. As Marlan came out of retirement to join ARCO International as President, Roxanna remained active in evaluating and participating in North American oil and gas plays. Marlan retired from ARCO seven years later, entered academia as Bartell Professor of Geoscience at the University of Oklahoma, and Chief Scientist at the Sarkeys Energy Center and now has returned to Roxanna Oil Company as the Chairman of the Board.
In 2005, Julie Garvin left her position as Geoscience Advisor, Worldwide Exploration for Marathon Oil Company to become president of Roxanna. Under Marlan and Julie’s leadership, Roxanna’s royalty interests have grown to over 500,000 acres in various unconventional and conventional plays in the U.S. In addition, the company has identified and executed major new play opportunities for its clients, resulting in acreage blocks of up to 250,000 acres for third party clients and partners.
