Here Comes 2021

January 14, 2021 by PBOG

We have turned the page on 2020 and I think we are all looking forward to whatever 2021 might offer in comparison to the year gone by. For PBPA right off the bat, 2021 offers legislative sessions in both Texas and New Mexico, along with a new administration in Washington, D.C. New Mexico will convene […]

PBPA is Your Advocate

December 3, 2020 by PBOG

We have made it to December in what has been an incredibly unprecedented year. The world is going through a pandemic the likes of which none of us have experienced before. Along with that pandemic, we have seen a dramatic change in energy demand and, consequently, in operations in the Permian Basin. However, one thing […]

The War on Hydrocarbons

October 26, 2020 by PBOG

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 […]

Proud to Be an American

September 28, 2020 by PBOG

Well, at the writing of this article, the Permian Basin, specifically Midland and Odessa, are still abuzz with the excitement of a Presidential visit. From those who lined the Airport perimeter fence to catch a glimpse of Airforce One’s arrival, to those who lined the streets of Odessa to see the impressive motorcade of black […]

While we all continue to address ongoing Covid-19 challenges, the Permian Basin Petroleum Association has been developing new and innovative methods to engage with our members as we advocate on behalf of operators and Permian Basin communities.

Riding the 2020 Emotional Rollercoaster

August 10, 2020 by PBOG

Well, at the end of June, nearing $40/bbl for the price of oil sure feels better than nearing $10/bbl. While it’s not the $55/bbl that we enjoyed pre-“Double Whammy,” (Covid-19 and Price War) it is much better than we experienced in the month of May, when realized prices for many were in the $17/bbl range […]

“Buy American”

July 27, 2020 by PBOG

Well, at the writing of this article things are looking much better than over the last two months, as many states are “opening up” and the Covid-19 statistics are not changing dramatically. It appears the worst of the pandemic is behind us. We’ve survived a lot. We’ve survived weeks of full quarantine. We’ve survived negative […]

Permian Perseverance

June 1, 2020 by PBOG

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, […]

Navigating a Twofold Crisis

May 4, 2020 by PBOG

You have to like a guy who does the thing that gives people a measure of hope. Just when the grimness of the colossal price drop in crude oil was deflating people’s outlook for their economic future, someone did something uplifting. Kirk Edwards published an “Open Letter to President Trump” in the Odessa American on […]
