Special Edition – Thanksgiving Day is a Workday in Energy!

First of all, a heartfelt Happy Thanksgiving to you all! We all have much to be thankful for and here at TPH/COBT, we are particularly thankful for your friendship.

Last year on Thanksgiving, we gambled and did something that was not only fun but ended up being pretty popular. We did a video featuring energy professionals working on Thanksgiving Day. We were lucky enough to get representation from Phillips 66, Diamondback, Plains All American, and Liberty Oilfield Services. I bumped into a good friend at the API Dinner a couple of weeks ago he asked if we were up to do it again. We honestly hadn't decided at that point but the more we thought about it, the more we wanted to do it.

So here we go! This year's line-up showcases energy life in the field in the Permian, at a natural gas plant south of Dallas, at a control center here in Houston, and at a huge LNG facility in Louisiana. Special thanks to the executive teams at Halliburton, Calpine, and Cheniere for helping us get this done. And special thanks to the group who pulled themselves away from the important jobs they do every day to join us in a Special Thanksgiving discussion:

Robert Dewitt, Calpine
Christopher Jerez, Halliburton
Andrew Sleet, Cheniere
Luke Yardy, Calpine

I don't want to spoil it because I really hope you watch... but the one thing that is inescapable in this video discussion is the determination and grit of the energy industry. It is more than a little reminiscent of the men and women in our Armed Forces. We can rely on them, their work never stops, they are big-hearted, they are smart, and they make it happen for the rest of us.

You will hear in the session that we mention the Thanksgiving table and all of the relatives who might want to talk about energy. For fun, we reached out to Alex Epstein and asked him for his Thanksgiving talking points. As you will see in the attached link, Alex volunteered to help you with your Thanksgiving energy discussions. 🙂

Let me wrap this up and let you get back to your Thanksgiving festivities. Please enjoy the day and thank you again for your continued friendship. We would be nowhere without you.

God bless you and your family this Thanksgiving holiday. All the best from the COBT Team!
