The Uintah Basin Energy Summit has grown to be a must attend event for those with an interest in the energy industry and this year was no exception. The event was held Wednesday and Thursday at the Uintah Conference Center in Vernal. “The Uintah Basin Energy Summit was once again a huge success with over 500 people in attendance,” shares event organizer and Uintah County Economic Development Director Sylvia Wilkins. “[There were] exceptional speeches from Representative Rob Bishop and Texas Railroad Commissioner Wayne Christian; keynote speaker Doug Griffiths entertained the crowd with his motivational speech about how attitudes can build or kill a community; and the billion dollar panel closed the Summit with representatives from Newfield, Crescent Point, and Axia Energy.” Wilkins was pleased to report that many have already expressed excitement looking forward to next year’s event.
