The Offshore Energy Center honors Luke R. Corbett with its 2004 Pinnacle Award.
Corbett began his career with Kerr-McGee in 1985 and served in positions of increasing responsibility. In 1995, he was appointed President and COO, and two years later, he became Kerr-McGee’s fourth chairman and CEO since it was founded in 1929.
Under Corbett’s direction, Kerr-McGee has become one of the largest U.S.-based oil and gas exploration and production companies and the world’s third-largest producer and marketer of titanium dioxide pigment.
Corbett believes in giving back to the community and actively serves on the boards of numerous industry, civic and charitable organizations.
