Michael C. Evans
In 2000, Michael worked for Helmerich & Payne as an explorationist in the Ouachita Basin.  

In 2002, Michael joined Latigo Petroleum where he created the primary plays in the Texas Panhandle that led to the company selling in 3 years for over $700 Million. 

Following the sale of Latigo, Michael rejoined his crew at a new start-up called Laredo Petroleum. Michael created a Granite Wash concept which garnered capital to drill over 50 vertical wells and over 100 horizontal wells. Total reserves could exceed ½ TCF of gas and several millions of barrels of liquids. 

In 2012, Michael left Laredo and formed Rimrock Natural Resources with Ceja Corporation of Tulsa. This company began leasing in the oil window of the SCOOP play and successfully drilled and participated in over 30 horizontal wells in the Woodford and Mississippian Horizons.
