Congressman Mike Conaway and Congressman Francisco "Quico" Canseco will bring their "American Energy and Jobs Tour" to the Permian Basin Thursday, May 24, starting with a tour of a drilling rig and hydraulic fracturing site in Upton County.
Conaway and Canseco, joined by Doc Hastings, chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee and Congressman Randy Neugebauer, will then hold a roundtable discussion at the Petroleum Club to discuss how businesses of all sizes and scope are affected by increasing energy prices.
The congressmen are part of the House Energy Action Team, whose members will spread out across the country Thursday to promote an all-of-the-above energy agenda. They will cite the Permian Basin, which provides two-thirds of Texas' crude oil and 17 percent of the entire nation's crude, as being threatened by over-regulation and environmental policies and how it must be protected from such costly regulations to promote economic growth, job creation and energy security.
