Join us for the next Chamber Lunch Program on Wednesday, Sept. 13, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Best Western Sheridan Center.
Pete Obermueller, president of the Petroleum Association of Wyoming (PAW), will present “The State of the Natural Gas and Oil Industry and What It Means for Sheridan and Wyoming.”
According to Obermueller, Wyoming’s natural gas and oil industry is the State’s primary economic driver. In 2022, the industry alone provided two thirds of the entire State’s general fund budget and helped to push Wyoming’s permanent investment funds up over $15 billion – a boon to Wyoming’s other taxpayers. That’s both great news and not-so-great news depending on your vantage point. With a focus on the Powder River Basin, Obermueller will catch us up on the state of the industry; how energy markets and political perceptions are influencing Wyoming’s backbone economy; and what that means for Sheridan and our State.
Cost is $20 per person, which includes the program and lunch buffet. Advanced registration is required by 4 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 11.
