Episode 23 of "In The Oil Patch"

This week on "In The Oil Patch": host Kym Bolado and her co-hosts Alvin Bailey and Roy Holley are excited to have Commissioner Ryan Sitton join them in the studio. Ryan Sitton is the newest commissioner of the Texas Railroad Commission and he brings energy, optimism and intelligence to the table with some help from his fellow Commissioners, David Porter and Christi Craddick. This was a highly anticipated interview and you won't want to miss it!

From the Texas Railroad Commission's website:

"With over 15 years of experience in the oil, gas, and petrochemical industry, Ryan is considered a leading expert in his field. He’s been an active member of several industry groups including: The Texas Alliance of Energy Producers (TAEP), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), and the American Petroleum Institute (API). Ryan has also served as an energy engineer expert in both regulatory and civil court cases.

"Ryan is a passionate conservative committed to putting his energy expertise to work for the people of Texas. As Railroad Commissioner, Ryan is working to make the commission more efficient and effective so Texas can lead America to energy independence. Ryan understands that the Railroad Commission exists to serve the people of Texas by keeping them safe while encouraging the responsible production of our natural resources. He also understands Texas, not the EPA or other federal agencies, should be responsible for overseeing the production of our natural resources and he is committed to fighting burdensome federal interference."
