Gary Conway is the President and CEO of Vaquero Midstream LLC, a company he co-founded in 2014 to develop and install quality midstream infrastructure while building willing partnerships between Vaquero and producers. Vaquero is currently focused on a grassroots 200 MMCFD Cryogenic Processing Project and over 100 miles of 24 inch and 30-inch gathering pipeline in the southern Delaware Basin. The project will offer multiple takeaway points for producers, including access to the Mexican markets.
Gary has more than 22 years of experience in the oil and natural gas industry and a track record of success. He recently served as Vice President of Engineering and Operations at TEAK Midstream LLC, helping steer the company from the initial acquisition stage to full execution of the Eagle Ford assets and eventual $1 billion sale in early 2013. His role included all aspects of the engineering and operations of over 300 miles of high and low-pressure gathering systems, a grassroots 250-mile high-pressure gathering pipeline and a 200 MMSCFD processing facility with an additional 400 MMSCFD planned on the complex. Gary was the technical, operational and asset business manager representative at the company board and investment levels.
Prior to his time at TEAK, Gary served as Vice President of Treating and Construction for Petrohawk/Hawk Field Services, completing the midstream assets in the Fayetteville Shale, establishing a major footprint of midstream assets in the Haynesville Shale and the initial assets for the Eagle Ford Shale.
Prior to Petrohawk/Hawk Field Services, Gary was instrumental in guiding Energy Transfer into the Barnett Shale, leading the construction and operations of Godley Cryogenic Complex. This provided the company a 500 MMSCFD processing platform for growth, making Energy Transfer the largest processors in the shale play.
Additionally, Gary was Manager of Engineering at Crosstex Energy Services in the Treating Division. Prior to joining Crosstex, he was employed by various consulting firms as a chemical engineer working for natural gas and petrochemical companies in the United States and abroad.
Gary graduated in 1992 from Texas A&M University with a Bachelor of Science degree in chemical engineering. He lives in Magnolia, Texas, with his wife, Debbie, college-age daughters and family horse.
