Hulsey elected to Petroleum Alliance chairmanship
Continental Resources’ Blu Hulsey has been elected to serve as chairman of The Petroleum Alliance of Oklahoma, the state’s largest trade association representing the oil and natural gas industry and one of the largest statewide oil and natural gas trade associations in the nation.
Hulsey’s appointment came following a unanimous vote of The Alliance board of directors, where the organization named its officers who will serve two-year terms beginning June 1. Other officers elected were:
Vice Chairman – Chad McDougall, JMA Energy Co.
Treasurer — Matt Most, Ovintiv
Secretary – Greg Shepherd, Mewbourne Oil Co.
“It is an honor to have the opportunity to lead this organization, particularly in this moment in time. As our world continues to wake up from the pandemic, Oklahoma oil and gas will continue to play a vital role in bettering the lives of people across Oklahoma, our nation and the world.” Hulsey said. “There has been no industry more important to our state than oil and gas, and that legacy will continue for decades to come.”
Hulsey succeeds outgoing Chairman David D. Le Norman, founder and managing partner of Reign Capital Holdings who served as the first elected chairman of The Petroleum Alliance following the merger of the Oklahoma Independent Petroleum Association (OIPA) and the Oklahoma Oil and Gas Association (OKOGA). Both Le Norman and Hulsey will be recognized during a special ceremony at the organization’s Annual Meeting in August.
“Blu is well equipped to lead the Alliance,” Le Norman said. “He has been in leadership roles in other producing regions of our country and has a firm grasp of the headwinds that face our industry. I am particularly encouraged by his experience navigating legislative and regulatory challenges related to our business, including those at the federal level. Blu’s experience broadens our capabilities and expands our scope beyond the borders of Oklahoma.”
