Members, This new year of 2023 will no doubt bring us great changes. We are hopeful of real progress as our elected officials gather in Washington, Santa Fe, and Austin to develop public policy that will leverage America’s great natural resources. Meanwhile, we cannot lose sight of the fact that our opposition is both obstructive […]
A Look Ahead at 2023
This next year will prove pivotal for oil and gas in the United States. Because of energy insecurity brought on by an unwillingness to recognize that global demand exists and politicians the world over would rather deny their constituencies the benefit of abundant and affordable American energy, it seems that we are going to brave […]
Green Light, Red Light
All across the United States, Americans are suffering from a missing energy and economic policy—a hindrance that has wrought havoc for families and their budgets over the last six months—and the only thing the Biden Administration is providing are mixed messages. This is most effectively illustrated by the Administration saying they are green lighting oil […]
No Time to Play Politics With Permian Oil and Gas
Lately we have become all too familiar with the Biden Administration launching attacks—not in defense of Ukrainians who are valiantly defending their homeland—but on American oil and gas workers and operators who are working through the challenges that his own administration has wrought. In the middle of last year, our members warned about the perilous […]

Facing the Challenges
The interim for the Texas Legislature lasted a brief 38 days as Texas Governor Greg Abbott called on the legislature to return to the Texas Capitol and continue working on at least 11 items of importance. The 87th Regular Legislative Session did prove beneficial to so many Texas energy communities and the state adopted a […]
Finding a Balance
Beginning this January, the 87th Texas Legislature began with tremendous uncertainty for those who were sent to serve and those whom they serve. The ongoing effects of the global Covid-19 pandemic, and the vast impact on all economic sectors, including the Permian Basin oil and gas industry, loomed large as the session began. One thing […]
