The oil and gas industry is no stranger to challenges, which historically have been overcome through innovation and collaboration. However, working together to develop solutions is not an option when the threat surfaces from within. With the Permian Basin so enriched by its vast oil and gas assets, the trucking industry should be capitalizing on […]

Survivor Guilt?
As I have alluded to before, I’ve seen and heard of some horrible accidents. I’ve delivered death messages and even experienced one delivered to myself and my family. Such traumatic moments summon to mind related terms—PTSD, often associated with military action, being one of these. Unfortunately we, in our industry, encounter this issue more frequently […]

Value the Rules of Safety
Welcome again to the wonderful world of safety.

Taking Our Story to the Capitol
Another trip to Washington D.C. is in the books. Several Permian Basin Petroleum Association members, along with Ben Sheppard and Stephen Robertson, made the trek to D.C. back in early April.

Bucking the 80-20
Some business coaches cite the 80-20 rule—which says 80 percent of a company’s productivity comes from 20 percent of its product lines—to recommend identifying and eliminating the less productive offerings in order to increase profits. That works great in a static business sector, where your main product or service line can be predicted. But in […]
