Make plans to attend TIPRO’s upcoming event— two dynamic days filled with expert insights, the latest industry updates and high-impact networking events.
Summer Conference Session Topics
Planned session topics for the association’s Summer Conference include:
Oil and Natural Gas Services Sector Innovation and Macroeconomic Trends
The oil and natural gas services industry is expected to see continued technological development in areas like digitalization and automation for further efficiency gains and improved economics. Join TIPRO for an in-depth discussion on market drivers and the next era of innovation in the oilpatch with Lyndall Cissell, president of Americas Land for SLB, the world’s largest oilfield services company.
Infrastructure, Molecules and Delivering Positive Energy
Energy infrastructure is vital to connecting surging demand with the productive American shale fields. Mike Howard, chairman and CEO of Howard Energy Partners, will highlight the latest industry trends, oilfield innovation, the importance of effective advocacy and the interconnectedness between supply, economic growth, and quality of life.
In-depth State Regulatory Discussion
With recent changes to the UIC permitting program, new Chapter 4 rules going into effect on July 1, and the inactive well plugging bill passed this past legislative session that will require new rules and process in place by September 2027, TIPRO will hear from Railroad Commission Chairman Jim Wright and the agency’s director for technical permitting in the Oil and Gas Division, Paul DuBois, on those important topics and will have a chance to ask them questions about their implementation.
Candid Perspectives on the Energy Market and Dealmaking
Energy markets are in flux, and the path forward is neither simple nor obvious. Is the industry at the end of a multi-year consolidation phase or will current lower commodity prices be a catalyst for continued dealmaking? Capital has begun returning after an ill-conceived stampede away from fossil fuels, private companies are thriving, and innovation is redefining what’s possible—but can this momentum survive a downcycle? And where does a vocally pro-energy administration fit into the equation? Panelists John Fossum, managing director of Petrie Partners, and Austin Hughes, senior vice president of Petrie Partners, will talk about market expectations.
Oil and Gas Price Outlook for 2026
Over the past year, the global oil and natural gas markets have experienced significant volatility with meaningful changes in the key supply and demand drivers for both hydrocarbons. Marshall Adkins, head of energy for Raymond James, will share an update on the latest changes in this rapidly evolving energy macro environment and help TIPRO members understand what can be expected for both oil and natural gas prices in 2026.
Stay tuned for additional speaker announcements in the coming days.
