Luncheon Topic: Mr. Abraham will address the following:
1. The outlook for the U.S. and worldwide upstream (E&P) oil and gas industry this year.
2. The “health” of the Texas upstream oil and gas industry, as represented in our “Texas PetroIndex.”
3. The Texas Alliance of Energy Producers’ lobbying priorities in Washington and Austin for this year.
4. The Alliance’s great concerns about what harm the Environmental Protection Agency could do to our industry, on the subjects of hydraulic fracturing of wells, and the handling of emissions of benzene from natural gas production.
