Roger W. Jenkins is the President and CEO of Murphy Oil Corporation, a role he has held since August 2013. He has a strong background in the oil industry, having joined Murphy Oil in 2001 and climbing the ranks to become CEO. Jenkins holds a bachelor's degree in Petroleum Engineering from Louisiana State University and an MBA from Tulane University, plus he went through the Advanced Management Program at Harvard Business School. His leadership has influenced key projects like the Kikeh field in Malaysia and the Eagle Ford Shale in Texas. Interestingly, since his appointment, Jenkins has seen major fluctuations in his compensation which peaked at over $13 million in 2020 but has adjusted downwards in more recent years as part of company cost-cutting during tough market conditions. Notably, his stock holdings have also seen significant changes, with values reaching over $250 million before settling around $202 million in early 2024. He was temporarily away from his role in 2020 due to health reasons but swiftly returned. His journey reflects not just his resilience but also the dynamic nature of the energy sector.
