“Growing a Multi-Billion Dollar Corporation from Scratch”

Learn From some of the Most Successful Oilmen of the 21st Century about how to

 Make your Company more Successful”


STANDARD OIL (Chevron, BP Amoco, Exxon), SPINDLETOP (Texaco, Gulf, Mobil), J. PAUL GETTY, H. L. HUNT, GEORGE MITCHELL, GEORGE H. W. BUSH…  All started from finite beginnings, and ultimately had significant impact on the development of the Petroleum Era. The legacy of business development in the oil & gas industry is over 100 years old, but the spirit of the “deal”, the excitement of finding the next “gusher”, still remain today.  Opportunity takes many forms, and the “Energy” business in the 21st century provides just as much “upside” as ever!

 

Vision, Financing, People, Charisma, Hard Work, Technical Savvy, Track Record, Timing, Operations, Land Access, Good Faith…??  What are the key attributes and actions that lead to profits, enterprise growth, and success as an Entrepreneur in the Oil & Gas Industry?  How do you gather all these resources and “Put them together”?

At our March 21st meeting, the SPE Business Development Study Group will be privileged to hear the first hand stories of two of the most successful company founders / prime movers of the modern Oil & Gas / Energy sector.  We welcome you to enjoy this excellent program, as well as the fellowship and networking of the popular Social Hour at 5:30 pm
