1 min read

Murphy Oil Corp. of El Dorado announced late Tuesday that Elisabeth W. Keller has been elected to its board of directors, and that Eugene T. Coleman and Michael K. McFadyen have been made executive vice presidents, effective immediately.

Keller chairs the board of Keller Enterprises LLC, leading a company devoted to investing, farming and philanthropy. Since 2014, she has been president of Inglewood Plantation LLC, overseeing the largest organic farm in Louisiana.

She is also the daughter of Caroline Murphy Keller Winter, who co-founded Murphy Oil in 1950 with her sister Bertie Murphy Deming and her brother Charles H. Murphy Jr., who led the company as president and was later board chairman.

“We are pleased with the addition of Elisabeth to our board,” said Claiborne P. Deming, the board chairman and also Keller’s cousin. “Her extensive background which focuses mainly on health and environmental issues, both domestically and internationally, will serve Murphy well in the years ahead.”

Coleman, formerly executive vice president of Murphy Exploration and Production Co., will now be an EVP of the larger corporation, responsible for all its offshore operations. An engineering graduate of West Virginia University, he started at Murphy Exploration in 2001.

McFadyen, who was the onshore EVP at Murphy Exploration and president of Murphy Oil’s Canadian subsidiary, will now head onshore operations for the entire corporation. McFadyen, who earned a degree in petroleum engineering from the University of Wyoming, joined Murphy in 2011.
