The Petroleum Alliance of Oklahoma

Congratulations are in order for Sen. Lonnie Paxton! He was elected to be the next Oklahoma State Senate President Pro Temp Designee. 👏 Fun fact: Sen. Paxton achieved a 100 on his Petroleum Alliance legislative scorecard for the 2024 session, and he has a lifetime score of 97.

The United States is taking home the gold! No, we're not talking about the Olympics — we're talking about oil production and consumption. 💪 In 2023, the U.S. led the world in both categories, producing 19.358 million barrels per day and consuming 18.984 million barrels per day. Despite what the Biden Administration tries to tell you, this country still runs on oil and natural gas! 👏

Our next Wildcatters Wednesday is only a few weeks away! Trust us, you aren't going to want to miss this. 👀 We're excited to welcome U.S. Representatives Stephanie Bice (R-OK) and Bob Latta (R-OH) as our featured speakers! With all eyes on Washington ahead of November's presidential election, the luncheon will provide a unique platform for Representatives Bice and Latta to share their insights on the current state of the energy industry, legislative developments and the future of energy policy in the United States.

S-E-C... it just means more! 😉 This is the only SEC power rankings you need to see this offseason. Looks like the two newbies — Texas and Oklahoma — lead the way (by quite a large margin). This is oil and natural gas country! 💪

Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the loss of Senator Jim Inhofe. A lifelong supporter of Oklahoma’s oil and natural gas industry, Senator Inhofe worked tirelessly to improve America’s energy security and national defense. Petroleum Alliance President Brook A. Simmons reminisced on one of his favorite memories: “When climate activists printed wanted posters featuring his image for COP 21 in Paris, Senator Inhofe proudly autographed them and handed them back to protestors.” He embraced the detractors and wore their scorn as a badge of honor! America truly needs more like him.

Mark your calendars! Join us on Aug. 1 at Petroleum Alliance HQ for the 2024 Oklahoma Safety Share Forum. Our friends from the Onshore Safety Alliance (OSA) will share safety practices and learnings from recent incidents. This event is designed for operators, drilling contractors and service companies with personnel who work directly on onshore oil and gas operation sites. This is a FREE event. Continental breakfast and lunch will be provided. Click the link below to reserve your spot!

We asked AI to help us create a patriotic oil rig for the 4th of July. Here's our petition to make every oil rig look like this moving forward! Proud to be American. 🇺🇸 Proud to be an energy worker. 💪

Another win in the books! ✅ Oklahoma was one of 16 states that challenged Energy Department's pause on natural gas exports — on Monday, a federal judge in Louisiana officially put that pause on hold. 👏 Since the beginning of his presidency, the Biden Administration has tried (and failed) to shut down oil and natural gas. This ruling is a big win for our industry and the millions of hardworking employees it supports.

Mark your calendars! 🗓 This is a FREE event — continental breakfast and lunch will be provided. Reserve your spot today!
