Rep. Pfluger Welcomes Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum to the Permian Basin

The world depends on the Permian Basin, and together, we are focused on unleashing its full potential.

Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON, D.C. – It was a privilege to welcome U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum to Midland last week! We toured a Diamondback Energy e-frac site where Secretary Burgum witnessed firsthand the cutting-edge innovation taking place in the heart of the Permian Basin. Following the tour, we participated in a roundtable discussion with industry executives and local leaders to discuss what they are experiencing on the ground and how we can help unlock and maintain American energy dominance in Washington.

As the crown jewel of American energy production, the Permian Basin is the cornerstone of American jobs, national security, and economic prosperity. Secretary Burgum has been a strong leader in advancing commonsense deregulatory efforts and fostering a more predictable regulatory environment that allows businesses to thrive.

The world depends on the Permian Basin, and together, we are focused on unleashing its full potential. I look forward to the continued partnership with Secretary Burgum and the Trump Administration. Read more about our time in Midland here.
