A Question of Value

November 4, 2021 by PBOG

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

October 18, 2021 by PBOG

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 […]

To Execute the Will of our Members

September 27, 2021 by PBOG

Who Has the Paddles?

August 16, 2021 by PBOG

In his book, Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life…And Maybe the World, retired four-star U.S. Navy Admiral William H.

Championing Your Interests

July 22, 2021 by PBOG

On May 31, 2021, the Texas Legislature adjourned sine die. This was the end of a rather unique 140-day “regular” legislative session, which began with discussions on how to conduct a truly open meeting of the Legislature that would allow the public to attend and participate in the era of a pandemic. Yet that wasn’t […]

Recognizing Someone Special

June 24, 2021 by PBOG

If a tree falls in the forest, but there is no one there to hear it, does it make a sound? If a trade association has members, but those members can’t be in the same room with each other, can you have a member event? On April 1, 2021, PBPA held its first in-person event […]

What Have We Been Up To?

May 24, 2021 by PBOG

A Better Way

April 26, 2021 by PBOG

Politically, energy transition has been a topic of high importance for many around the country. This has been largely spurred by the idea that hydrocarbon-based energy is bad for the environment. Rarely is it discussed by those with complaints about-hydrocarbon based energy what the benefits are to society, some of which are often taken greatly […]

Fresh Challenges under a New Administration

March 4, 2021 by PBOG

The first real American industry to stretch across the windswept plains, the first to practice a trade across what is now known as the Permian Basin of Southeast New Mexico and West Texas, was cattle and ranching.

A Bulwark Against Energy Poverty

February 4, 2021 by PBOG

As you all know, PBPA’s advocacy is focused at the state and federal levels. But what many may not consider is that this advocacy truly has an international impact. The growth or decline of oil and gas production in the Permian Basin has a major impact on the quality of life that people around the […]
