Yacob, the Chairman and CEO of EOG, expressed gratitude for Textor's service, acknowledging how his counsel was critical to the company's evolution from a modest exploration and production firm to one of the largest independent players in the oil and gas sector today. Under Textor’s guidance, EOG has succeeded in navigating various commodity price fluctuations while consistently delivering substantial returns to its shareholders.

Throughout his time at EOG, Textor has witnessed the company grow and adapt in an ever-changing energy landscape, showcasing resilience and innovation in its strategies. His intimate knowledge of the dynamics in the oil and gas markets was instrumental in driving EOG's technological advancements and operational efficiencies.
