PBPA Tracking Industry-Related Issues By Julie Anderson So many issues. So little time. Playing defense here. Coordinating offense there. Monitoring, testifying, convincing.

New Seasons Remind of a Time Before

September 5, 2018 by PBOG

He Made a Hand

January 1, 2018 by PBOG

Tenets to Live By By Julie Anderson No doubt S. Javaid Anwar could lead a seminar on achieving success in the petroleum industry.
