Grant Yates and Brooks Hunt share how NAPE opened doors for independent operators, investors, and industry pros, shaping the last 30 years of oil and gas. Whether you’re a veteran who’s been there since the beginning or just curious about how this event became a cornerstone of the industry, this one’s full of laughs, insights, and a few stories you won’t believe.
