Electrical News
PBPA's Electrical Coalition focuses on increasing electrical transmission and distribution infrastructure to meet demand in the Permian Basin. Here we'll provide updates on electrical regulatory issues important to the industry.
Upcoming Events
Due to recommendations from the CDC, state and local governments, many PBPA events have been postponed. If you have a question about a specific event, please contact the PBPA Midland office.
Outdoor Lighting Recommendations
These recommendations are a result of collaboration between members of the oil and gas industry and academia. These recommendations are targeted at operations in the Texas counties surrounding the McDonald Observatory, but are equally beneficial across the industry.
