who is the ceo of anadarko?
Big Oil CEO: 'A Few People Are Going To Drown'. âNone of us have a great sense for where oil prices are going,â said Al Walker, CEO of Anadarko Petroleum. So for some perspective Walker talked to his friend Jim Flores, CEO of Freeport McMoRanâs oil and gas business. Floresâ response: âBaby, itâs raining. Itâs going to rain for a long time and weâre all going to get wet. A few people are going to drown.â Anadarko will be one of the survivors, said Walker. âWeâre capable of handling whatever the market gives us.â Walker was speaking Wednesday at the Barclays oil and gas conference in New York.
