WORKSHOP AIMED
AT HELPING THOSE IN OKLAHOMA’S ENERGY INDUSTRY
Those involved with
Oklahoma’s oil and gas industry can gain the edge they need in their
competitive business by attending a one-day workshop sponsored by the Oklahoma
Corporation Commission and the Oklahoma City Geological Society.
The workshop will focus on
giving producers and others the information they need to be able to work
efficiently and easily with the Commission in meeting the various rules and
laws governing the industry. Entitled “Tools, Techniques, and Trials,” the
workshop will feature sessions covering such topics as current and proposed
rules effecting oil and gas operations, how to prepare a case to bring before
the Commission, and the operations of the Commission’s Oil and Gas Division,
among others.

Commissioner Ed Apple urges industry representatives, landmen, geologists,
engineers, attorneys and royalty owners to attend.
“Dealing with a regulatory
agency such as the Corporation Commission can be a daunting task, especially
when you’re involved in as complex and demanding a business as oil and gas
production,” said Apple. “We want to give those in the industry the tools and
understanding they need to help us help them meet the law and continue to
satisfy America’s energy needs.”
The one-day workshop is
scheduled to begin at 8:30 a.m. on July 20 at the Clarion Meridian Hotel and
Convention Center in Oklahoma City. Registration is 85 dollars per person, and
special hotel room rates are available. To register, interested parties can
call Carol DeLong with the Oklahoma City Geological Society at 405-236-8086
ext. 11.
