Patrick F. Taylor

Patrick F. Taylor (1937 - November 6,2004) was an American businessman, who was founder and CEO of the independent oil company Taylor Energy.

Taylor graduated from Louisiana State University with a degree in petroleum engineering. After working for independent oilman John W. Mecom, Sr., he established a consulting company. Along with Mecom, he founded the Circle Bar Drilling company in the 1970s. After Circle Bar was sold, he started Taylor Energy.

Taylor had a strong interest in education and humanitarian causes. He developed and promoted the "Taylor Plan", adopted in Louisiana in 1989, which provides academically qualified students with state-paid tuition to college.

In 2004, Taylor was named to the Forbes 400, a list compiled by Forbes magazine of the 400 richest Americans.

In 2007, a building on the LSU campus was renamed in honor of Taylor and all his accomplishments.
