Thank you to Senate President Senator Bo Biteman and House Speaker Chip Neiman for their leadership on the Wyoming Energy Dominance Fund.

Reinvesting industry-paid severance taxes into future development is a win-win for Wyoming.

Wyoming Energy Dominance Fund bill authored by President Biteman and Speaker Neiman would be a win-win for both Wyoming’s economy and the public school system.

We love working with Wyoming-based businesses as often as possible.

For the 2025 Rockies Petroleum Conference, PAW Chairman Shelley Shelby wanted to give attendees a gift and we knew Alexis Drake was the perfect partner.

Their team created a custom business card holder featuring Wyoming's Steamboat on one side and the PAW logo on the other.

That’s a wrap on the 2025 Rockies Petroleum Conference! This year’s conference was an expanded, joint effort between PAW, Colorado Oil & Gas Association and Utah Petroleum Association conceived to focus on regional issues, share insights among our members, and take advantage of our strength in numbers where we can book the highest caliber of speakers, draw upon our collective knowledge, and discuss how to broaden our impact.

We will see PAW members in Sheridan in 2026 for our Annual Meeting and reconvene with our Rockies Partners in Denver in 2027.

And a special thanks to our friends from New Mexico Oil & Gas and the Western Energy Alliance for joining us in Laramie.
