ConocoPhillips Alaska, which is one of the largest refiners in the world falling in fifth place, has come to a great loss as it lost its president to an avalanche just a day ago on Saturday. A colleague who was also traveling with James Bowell has been reported missing and the Alaska State Troopers presume him dead.
The body of James Bowell was pulled from the debris of the avalanche and resuscitation efforts were carried out for half an hour before efforts on the president of ConocoPhillips Alaska were ceased. The president of ConocoPhillips Alaska was traveling alongside a dozen people on snowmobiles when the avalanche came tumbling down on them near the Grandview Wilderness region located south of Anchorage in the Kenai Peninsula.
James Bowell will be greatly missed by his family as the news of his death comes as an unexpected surprise to the loved ones of the fifty-seven year old.
James Bowell had been in charge of leading the oil giant ConocoPhillips since the annum 2004 and as much as his family might miss him there is a doubt in my mind that the company might miss him more. ConocoPhillips Alaska is an oil field operator on the north slope and is only rivaled in production by one such other company.
The body of the colleague who also went missing in the avalanche was reported to be that of Alan Gage who was a member of Conoco’s capital projects team. Resumption of the search for Alan’s body is meant to continue today but he is presumed dead.
