This year the NSWA hosted its 12th annual Energy Gala. It was once again held at the beautiful Embassy Suites in Oklahoma City, and included 130+ attendees.

At this year’s annual Energy Gala, the NSWA membership voted to honor Pete Brown as the 2018 Hero of Industry. Brown was appointed to the Oklahoma Energy Resources Board (OERB) in 1991 and has been continuously fighting for small producers rights since. He currently is a co-owner of Brown & Borelli, Inc. and Cimarron Production Co., Inc. Thank you, Pete, for all you have done for the oil and gas industry!

The NSWA Board of Directors voted to honor U.S. Congressman Tom Cole as the 2018 Legislator of the Year. This award is in recognition of his outstanding dedication, commitment and personal leadership on behalf of the country’s oil and natural gas industry.

Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter was the 2018 Keynote Speaker. He spoke about the current issues affecting our country.
