Thad Dunham, IADC VP of Government & Industry Affairs – Onshore, attended the 97th Annual Meeting of the Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA). The event took place in Colorado Springs from 17-18 June.
IADC’s involvement with IPAA gives Drilling Contractors a seat at the table with Operators during important conversations. Of particular interest were the state trade association and regulatory updates, market outlooks, and opportunities to network with operators and other industry colleagues.
During the annual meeting, a merger between IPAA and the Domestic Energy Producers Alliance (DEPA) was approved to better advocate for the interests of America’s independent oil and gas producers. IADC previously served on the DEPA Board of Directors and, due to the merger, will now serve on the IPAA Advisory Board.
IADC looks forward to contributing to the IPAA in this new capacity, working together to strengthen advocacy efforts under a unified voice.
