Oilfield Water Weekly

We are very excited about hosting a large outdoor gathering of oilfield water industry leaders in DFW tomorrow.

The weather looks like it’ll be absolutely perfect for our sold-out Cowboys Golf Club outing this Thursday, where over 85 oilfield water industry professionals will join in a great day of sport and networking. The player roster includes many high profile executives from water midstream, E&P, finance, and various water-related services. 

Thanks to all the players who are coming out and to all our great sponsors for supporting this much needed industry gathering. We look forward to a great day tomorrow and will have some pictures to share in our next newsletter!
