Zayla conducted an analysis of new E&P compensation disclosures from the 2024 proxy season to identify CEO compensation trends of interest.

Our research found a median increase in total direct compensation of 6% in FY2023 at the 21 largest public E&P companies, substantially lower than increases noted in other general industry studies. At the same time, these companies generated nearly $2B more EBITDA at the median than the S&P 500. Check our article for more data and analysis providing an in depth look at total compensation, incentive payouts and incentive plan design.
