Zayla Partners, a Gallagher Company purchased Effective Compensation, Inc. (known as ECI Surveys to the energy industry) in January of 2024. Zayla continued the ECI legacy, maintaining strictly controlled data to maximize quality and relevance for the energy industry with 63 participants in 2024 despite jumps in energy acquisitions. We look forward to expanding our offerings in 2025.
Founded in 1996, Effective Compensation, Inc. (ECI) has been conducting compensation surveys for the energy industry for 29 years. The Oil and Gas E&P Compensation Survey has been honed and developed over those years into the gold standard of quality compensation data and analytics. Beginning in 2025, ECI will be bringing the same standard of excellence to the reinstatement of the Midstream, Oilfield Services and Alternative Energy segments.
