LAGCOE ’15: Opening ceremony takes place at Energy Innovators exhibit
LAFAYETTE – LAGCOE 2015 was inaugurated Tuesday morning with an enthusiastic ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Energy Innovators exhibit, where 10 innovators will be pitching their innovative oilfield technologies.
LAGCOE 2015 Chairman Steve Maley, Badger Oil Corporation, presided over the ribbon cutting ceremony. LAGCOE Looey Leon Charles Moncla, Jr. performed the ribbon cutting, with LAGCOE 2015 Chairman-Elect Kenny Crouch, Pressure Control Specialties, in attendance.
“Welcome everyone to LAGCOE 2015,” declared Chairman Maley. “We’re here at the Energy Innovators tent, a new offering for LAGCOE 2015. This may be a slack time for the industry, but these innovators have been busy in their garages to get ready for the next boom.”
“In 2013, we were excited to do the ribbon cutting at the newly opened exhibit space on the second floor. This year, we’re ten times excited to have the ribbon cutting at the Energy Innovators booth,” said Executive Director Angela Cring. “We’re proud of our partnership with Innovate and the pitch event on Thursday.”
“With the energy as it is, we’re waiting for the next boom,” exclaimed Mr. Moncla. “Every year, I come to LAGCOE and see something new – something that is better and safer for the industry.”
At the opening ceremony, the organizers of the Open Clay Shoot presented a check of $20,140 for the LAGCOE Education Fund.
