Paul Favret

Paul Favret

Paul Favret is a Colorado-based energy executive, entrepreneur, and inventor with more than four decades of experience in oil and gas exploration, technology development, and private equity-backed operations. His career includes founding three companies and serving as Chief Executive Officer of several organizations. Leadership roles include Resource Energy Partners, an Apollo Global Management-backed operator that acquired three public companies through Section 363 bankruptcy proceedings and operated more than 220 wells, producing approximately 3,800 barrels of oil per day. He also led Source Energy Partners, which controlled over 800,000 acres and 18 producing wells generating more than 3,500 barrels per day.

Favret earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Geology from Western Carolina University between 1980 and 1984 and graduated magna cum laude. Academic work continued at the University of South Carolina, where a Master’s Degree in Geology and Geophysics was completed with summa cum laude honors between 1984 and 1986.

He later expanded his education with additional business preparation. He completed a Master of Business Administration at the University of Houston and graduated cum laude in 1992. In 1999, Petroleum Engineering for Management studies were completed at the Colorado School of Mines to strengthen the understanding of engineering principles connected to energy development.

Favret began his professional career in 1986 with Amoco, where he served for 10 years as a lead explorationist and geophysicist. His assignments included Gulf Coast exploration, deepwater Gulf of Mexico projects, international work in Nigeria and Angola, and domestic initiatives in the Wyoming Greater Green River Basin.

From 1994 to 1996, he received five President’s Awards for achievements in exploration and development. During that same period, he was the only professional within the company to receive five such awards. Early career work also included participation in geological research and the publication of results.

Paul Favret joined Aspect Energy, LLC in 1996 as president and early partner. From 1996 to 2004, exploration strategy, technical team development, and asset growth were guided as the company expanded its activities.

He later served as president of Abundant Resources from 2004 to 2008. Work during that period focused on shale resource development in the Barnett, Fayetteville, and Woodford shale regions across Texas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma.

Favret founded Ascend Geo, LLC in 2002 and served as Founder, Chief Executive Officer, and Director until 2009. The company developed portable cableless seismic acquisition and continuous recording platforms, including the Ascend Ultra Seis recording system.

The recording system became the first cable-less, continuous recording, satellite-timed system introduced in the industry. Seven U.S. patents were secured for seismic acquisition architecture. Career contributions also include eight U.S. patents covering seismic data acquisition methods, interactive investigation systems, data synchronisation, vibrator force control, and noise attenuation.

Favret founded Source Energy Partners, L.P. in 2010 and served as Chief Executive Officer until 2015. The company focused on shale resources in Europe, Colombia, and the Mid-Continent region of the United States.

Operations controlled more than 800,000 acres across four project areas and included 18 producing wells generating more than 3,500 barrels per day. Between 2013 and 2015, the projects were successfully sold as part of the company's development strategy.

Paul Favret became Chief Executive Officer of Resource Energy Partners LLC in November 2015. The Denver-based company, backed by Apollo Global Management, focused on bankruptcy acquisitions in the Bakken play of the Williston Basin.

Over 18 months, the company acquired three mid-sized public companies through the Section 363 bankruptcy process. Operations included more than 220 wells and production of approximately 3,800 barrels of oil per day before a successful sale in 2021.

He has remained involved in professional organizations and community activities. Participation includes the American Association of Petroleum Geologists and the Denver Geological Society. Support has also been provided to ACE Scholarships, which offers financial assistance to students in multiple states, with annual donations exceeding $25 million, as well as to the Dumb Friends League.

Marine Corps Veteran, Storyteller, and Hackivist disrupting power-based violence through online access to education and community care with over eighteen years experience in the technical and operational program management of space and military intelligence federal contracts in the United States.

I made a promise to support and defend the United States Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I take that VERY seriously, and will fight for your right to hate me. I will not, however, tolerate acts of violence directed at individuals for simply taking up space, acts of coercion through threats of violence, or any attempt at using violence as a way to maintain power. I will speak out and take the defense for any victim of violence (in all of its forms) and all individuals impacted by the use of power-based violence.

I believe in the power of storytelling energy as a renewable resource capable of magic, the kindness of strangers, and ability to overcome hardship through communal care. I use the arts of satire, drag, and boudoir performance to make light of extremely controversial and traumatic but historical events that surround United States Post World War II Military History.
