AIPRO was proud to join industry leaders from across the country at the 97th Annual Meeting of the Independent Petroleum Association of America in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The conference brought together independent oil and natural gas producers, service companies, and association leaders to discuss the future of American energy, workforce development, global energy markets, innovation and public policy.

Arkansas was well represented by (left to right): Jeff Kirtland of Flywheel Energy (AIPRO board member); Anna Swaim (AIPRO executive director), Catherine Nobles of MacFarlane Company-USA, LLC (AIPRO president), and Howard Vernon of Hanna Oil & Gas (AIPRO board member).

These conversations are important because the challenges and opportunities facing our industry are increasingly global in scope. By participating in meetings like this, Arkansas producers help ensure that our state’s perspective is part of the discussion as industry leaders work together to provide the reliable, affordable energy that powers American homes, businesses, and manufacturing.

Thank you to IPAA for hosting another outstanding event and for continuing to be a strong voice for independent producers across the country.

US energy production reached record in 2025, U.S. Energy Information Administration says.

The all-time high followed years of record growth, but prices are rising amid the Iran war.
