Episode 51 of "In The Oil Patch"

This week on "In The Oil Patch": host Kym Bolado and her cohost Alvin Bailey have two great guests lined up for today's show. First off, we have Ambassador Ron Kirk on the line to give us his perspective on the oil & gas industry and where he believes the future of the industry is heading. Ambassador Kirk breaks down some pretty complicated topics in an easy-to-digest format. With his charisma and forward-thinking approach, Ambassador Kirk assures us that the industry has its peaks and valleys from time to time, but he feels there is no need to be up-in-arms over this recent fluctuation in oil prices.

After Ambassador Kirk made his departure from the show, we brought Omar Garcia, the President of STEER into the studio to share his expertise with us. Omar is a resident expert on our show and he's made multiple appearances over this past year with us. STEER's mission, as Omar eludes to during the interview, is to bridge the communication gap between the large oil & gas companies and the communities which they serve here in Texas. Omar's always a pleasure to have on the show and we hope you learn something new each time you listen to him on our show!
