On August 27th, the energy community will come together in , Texas for National Petroleum Day, and we’re excited to be part of the celebration!
National Petroleum Day marks the anniversary of the first successful commercial oil well drilled in the U.S. by Edwin Drake in Titusville, Pennsylvania, in 1859. The Permian Basin has its own place in that history, with the region’s first commercial discovery oil well dating back to 1920. More than a century later, the Permian Basin remains one of the most important energy producing regions in the country.
To celebrate, we’ll be participating in the National Petroleum Day Tailgate on Thursday, August 27th, from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM. The event is free and open to the public, bringing together live music, food trucks, vendors, industry displays and a live auction benefiting the Midland Fire Department.
Come hang out with us! We'll be located at the Outdoor Vendor area near Pecos and Wall Street, look for the and bright orange Scania hats!
