Episode 34 of "In The Oil Patch"
This week on "In The Oil Patch": host Kym Bolado and her co-hosts Alvin Bailey and Roy Holley have two very special guests to share some important updates with us. Justine Hall is the Director of External Affairs for the South Texas Energy & Economic Roundtable, better known as "STEER". Justine, like Haley Curry from our past episode, is really excited to give us more details about their upcoming Eagle Ford Excellence Awards. She explains that as long as the link is live on their website, you can still nominate deserving companies for this prestigious industry award. Being that it's their third annual celebration doesn't take away from the fact that companies are vying to take home an award in one of the four main categories: Community & Social Investment, Environmental Stewardship, Safety Performance, and the STEER Impact Award. As we stated earlier, nominations are still live so go to STEER's Eagle Ford Excellence Awards page to get your nomination in today!
From STEER's website:
"The South Texas Energy & Economic Roundtable (STEER), based in San Antonio, Texas, serves as the bridge connecting the oil and natural gas industry to South Texas communities. STEER will work to ensure that all stakeholders throughout the Eagle Ford Shale region are able to effectively maximize opportunities in a responsible and collaborative way.
"STEER was established by 11 of the largest operators in the Eagle Ford Shale region including: Anadarko, Chesapeake Energy Corporation, ConocoPhillips, EOG Resources, Lewis Energy Group, Marathon Oil, Murphy Oil, Pioneer Natural Resources, Shell, Statoil and Talisman Energy.
"These operators saw a need in South Texas to maintain a cohesive and collaborative stakeholder relations effort throughout the Eagle Ford Shale and developed STEER to lead that initiative.
"STEER facilitates and coordinates communication, education and public advocacy surrounding the production of energy resources in South Texas. As an organization, STEER aims to ensure development of the Eagle Ford’s energy resources is accomplished in a manner that is mutually beneficial to the industry and communities throughout South Texas."
