The week of February 13-17, 2023, will go down as a very important time for the communities of the Permian Basin and the oil and gas industry of the United States. The U.S. House Natural Resources Committee held a subcommittee hearing focusing on how Federal Energy Production Supports Local Communities at the University of Texas […]
A Look Ahead
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 […]
The Answer Includes the Permian Basin
In 1789 after the finalization of the U.S. Constitution establishing a separation of powers between three branches of the federal government, Benjamin Franklin penned a letter to Jean-Baptiste Leroy which included a worry that even with Franklin’s enthusiasm for the document’s permanency “…in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and […]
Remember the Permian

We Enrich Ourselves When We Honor Deserving Leaders

A Question of Value
Thank you to all those who sponsored or attended the PBPA Annual Meeting at the end of September. We were thrilled to welcome back everyone to an in-person meeting, and it was so great to see so many of you. There were too many faces that I hadn’t seen in person for quite some time, […]
The Shield and the Spear
What happens when an immovable object is met with an irresistible force? Better yet, what happens when that immovable object is also the irresistible force? Well, you get something that is both the shield and the spear. You get Ben Shepperd, president of the Permian Basin Petroleum Association. Often times, the PBPA is a shield […]

The greatest reason for PBPA’s success has always been the engagement of our membership. Since 1961, our members have empowered the association to truly be the voice of the Permian Basin in Austin, Santa Fe, Washington, D.C., and in venues around the world.
