Report from the 2019 Mayors’ Annual Energy Summit in Carlsbad, NM -
We attended the Mayors’ Annual Energy Summit again this year, on September 12, at the Walter Gerrells Civic Center Annex in Carlsbad, NM. The Mayors’ Summit is a half-day oil and gas industry conference that starts with breakfast (and a full color guard) and goes through lunch (served by local high schoolers, with a special guest speaker – this year was Randy White). Nearly all oil and gas companies with operations in the area send sizable contingents, and it is also well attended by local citizens from Carlsbad and Hobbs and other SENM towns.
Each year the Mayors’ Summit provides a window into the heart of the northern Delaware Basin, and the issues impacting the front lines of the oil and gas industry there, which can otherwise be hard to obtain from a conference room in Houston. Speakers this year included executives from major players in the basin like Concho, Oxy and XTO, the new CEO of the Permian Strategic Partnership, and the new Governor of New Mexico.
