NAPE Summit área de exposiciones and NAPE Network
¡Estás a tiempo para hacer un negocio!
At 7:45 a.m., a quiet excitement filled the George R. Brown Convention Center as exhibitors rushed to put finishing touches on their booths and made quick last dashes to the coffee station. A few minutes after the expo doors opened at 8 a.m., the buzz began building across the show floor as smiling NAPE-goers eagerly filled the aisles, laughing, enthusiastically greeting old friends, meeting new ones and looking for their next deal.
After a long 18 months, NAPE Summit is back!
With more than 4,000 attendees, 340 exhibiting companies and over 260 prospects, NAPE is bringing energy decision-makers together — in person and online — to connect, reconnect and make deals happen.
“Like so many in our industry, NAPE has had to pivot and regroup multiple times, but we are back — more innovative and more resilient — and are absolutely thrilled to welcome all our friends and colleagues back to the expo floor at the GRB in Houston and virtually on the NAPE Network,” said Bryan Hennigan, chair of the NAPE Operators Committee.
D. Briggs Donaldson, CPL, land manager at Purvis Operating Co. in Midland, Texas, has been coming to NAPE Summit for 20-plus years and was excited to be back.
“We don’t have anything to sell, but we came to see all the great people in this industry. And we’re looking for deals,” Donaldson said.
EXPO EXHIBITS
From majors to independents, E&Ps to service providers, traditional fuel sources to renewables, exhibitors were excited to be back at the GRB and on the NAPE Network. In person and online, attendees had access to NAPE’s robust marketplace for buying, selling and trading energy prospects and producing properties along with capital providers, law firms, new technologies and other support services.
Cantium, an E&P based in Covington, Louisiana, is a first-time exhibitor.
“We’re selling interests in some prospects and we wanted to gain exposure for our company, which is kind of new — we started in 2017,” said Karen McGowen, senior geoscientist. “It’s going really well. We’ve talked to a lot of people.”

Financing renewables assets is complex and requires unique skill sets from developers. Garg shares from his 20 years of experience in power, renewables and project finance.
CONNECTIONS & CONVERSATIONS
“AAPL has set a goal surrounding diversity and inclusion, striving to foster an organization that is representative of both cultural and professional diversity. This event is a great foundation for our D&I council to build upon,” said Greta Zeimetz, CAE, executive vice president of AAPL, the managing partner of NAPE, as she welcomed attendees to the afternoon Connections & Conversations session.
“Connections & Conversations is an exclusive NAPE event designed to bring specific groups of people within the energy industry together to network, engage and form professional relationships. This year’s event features four smart and successful women in energy,” Zeimetz said.
Moderated by Stephanie Reed, vice president, marketing for Pioneer Natural Resources, the panel included Megan Hays, vice president, Investor Relations at Cimarex Energy; Beth McDonald, senior vice president, Strategic Planning, Field Development and Marketing at Pioneer Resources; and Stephanie Ahmed, reservoir engineering manager at Double Eagle.
Panelists discussed how companies emerging on the backside of consolidation navigate balancing innovation, talent retention and relevancy in the changing landscape of ESG-driven investment.
Thursday concluded with a cocktail reception.
