Raymond Plank (May 29, 1922 – November 8, 2018) was the founder and Chairman of Apache Corporation. He led Apache from a small oil and gas concern to a conglomerate with interests in energy, commercial real estate, agriculture, manufacturing and telecommunications, then divested its non-energy assets to concentrate exclusively on oil and gas exploration and production. Under Plank’s leadership Apache expanded its oil and gas operations internationally and built the company from its original $250,000 capitalization to a market capitalization of over $30 billion. Plank invented the Master Limited Partnership and made it a personal and company mission to expose corruption at Enron and within the energy merchant trading sector.
