After wrapping up our annual meeting and hosting important leaders like New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, Texas Governor Greg Abbott, former Speaker Tom Craddick, and Chairman Drew Darby, we have to thank all of those involved in participating and making it such a grand success. Our sponsors, registrants, and panelists were part of something […]
Commitment is the Key
My name is Scott Kidwell and I am your new chairman here at the Permian Basin Petroleum Association. I am truly humbled to stand on the shoulders of former chairmen, such as Kyle McGraw, Clint Walker, and Danny Campbell, and will do everything I can to help lead our organization and our industry ever forward.

The War on Hydrocarbons
Our industry is at war. We are fighting for the survival of our industry. It’s a war of public opinion, and now becoming a war of public policy. With the looming presidential election, the shift in public policy might be huge. What were once thought to be radical, “left wing ideas” are now being considered […]
PBPA’s Annual Meeting: Charting our Course
With the autumnal shift in our weather and the beginning of fall across the Permian Basin, October brings a new start to the Permian Basin Petroleum Association’s year. This year we will kick off our new year as we do every year with our Annual Meeting. This year, at our 58th Annual Meeting, we will […]
Proud to Be an American
Well, at the writing of this article, the Permian Basin, specifically Midland and Odessa, are still abuzz with the excitement of a Presidential visit.

Adapting to a New Digital Normal

While surely not our preference, PBPA has had to make informed decisions that protect the health of our […]
Riding the 2020 Emotional Rollercoaster
Well, at the end of June, nearing $40/bbl for the price of oil sure feels better than nearing $10/bbl.

Permian Perseverance
In 2006, when I first began serving as the president of the Permian Basin Petroleum Association, many people around the state and nation talked about the Permian Basin like its best days were behind it. Some took joy in writing these obituaries, and some have begun to do so once again. Then, just like now, […]
PBPA: Out to Pave the Way
