Governor Mark Gordon’s leadership and support in the areas of oil and gas was recognized this week when he was voted the next chair of the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission (IOGCC).
The Governor was officially nominated during a business session of the IOGCC on May 17. He will succeed the current chair, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt, in October.
The IOGCC is a multi-state government agency chartered by the U.S. Congress in 1935. It includes 38 member states and serves as the states’ collective voice on oil and gas issues, as well as advocating for state leadership in governing oil and gas resources. The Commission works with states, Congress and the environmental community to gather information and viewpoints to assist with developing sound regulatory practices.
“I look forward to the opportunity to lead the ongoing effort to champion state-led efforts and leadership when it comes to addressing emerging technologies, regulatory issues and resource stewardship,” Governor Gordon said.
Along with his work with the IOGCC, Governor Gordon serves as chairman of the five-member WOGCC, which was established in 1951 to regulate oil and gas activity in the state. The WOGCC’s responsibilities include processing permits, conducting well inspections, and managing the underground injection control program and orphan well program. The commission ensures responsible development and management of Wyoming’s oil and gas resources and provides appropriate environmental stewardship for Wyoming citizens.
The Governor is scheduled to be the Keynote Speaker at the 22nd Annual Energy Exposition and Symposium June 22-23 in Gillette, Wy.
The Energy Exposition has educated tens of thousands of people in Gillette, Wyoming; Billings, Montana, and Loveland, Colorado, over the last 20 years on procedures, technology, safety, environmental practices, and equipment used in the oil and gas industry. Our doors have always been open to industry and non-industry attendees.
Exhibitors and Symposiasts represent a wide range of services, including but not limited to, exploration, production, downstream, and all phases of support to the oil and gas industry.
Members from the wind, solar, and other energy companies also join in the energy engagement.
The Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission is a multi-state government entity that is passionate about advancing the quality of life for all Americans. Without energy, the quality of life we enjoy today would not exist.
It’s no secret that American energy is the most valuable to our nation. The responsible development of our own resources not only strengthens our economy by creating and maintaining jobs, but also lessens our dependence on foreign resources, making oil and natural gas more affordable for consumers.
That’s why the Commission works to champion the conservation and efficient recovery of our nation’s oil and natural gas resources while protecting health, safety and the environment. We accomplish this by providing member states with a clear and unified voice and serving as the authority on issues surrounding these vital resources.
The Commission also assists states in balancing a multitude of interests through sound regulatory practices. Our unique structure offers a highly effective forum for states, industry, Congress and the environmental community to share information and viewpoints to advance our nation’s energy future. We stand dedicated to securing resources needed to ensure our nation’s energy, economic and national security.
