Panelist Profile

Session: ​The Art of Public Messaging –  How Do You Reach a Skeptical Audience?

​Marshall Zelinger will explore the art of public messaging on this panel, addressing important questions and challenges. Where has industry lost its way in winning the hearts and minds of the public? What can it do to improve? Who are the pragmatic stakeholders on the other side of the issue and what do they think about our message? What can we learn from their examples? And perhaps most importantly, going forward, how can we effectively convey our message to a general public that may be pre-disposed against the oil and gas industry?

Session: ​Impacts of the Crude Price War and COVID-19 - Who Survives in an Oversupplied, Low Commodity Price Environment?

​With the failure of OPEC+ members to make a substantial cut to crude oil production, the forecast for crude oil prices remains grim as demand dries up across the world.  The crude oil and natural gas markets in North America are now faced with a series of unique and difficult challenges not seen in decades, if ever.  At the same time as crude oil and associated gas production is falling victim to a reduction in the price of crude oil, the spread of COVID-19 has disrupted both domestic and export demand of natural gas in North America and across the globe.  This session will provide a forecast of how long low price pain will endure, characteristics of operators who are most likely to survive and testimonial from individual operators who are navigating the choppy waters ahead.

Session: ​The Intersection of Regulation and Technology

​The regulatory environment in Colorado has shifted dramatically in recent years, placing Colorado on the leading edge of a regulatory space where public policy, technology and goal setting have increasingly co-mingling in the regulatory process.  Case-in-point, Colorado’s emission control efforts have shifted where the availability of technologies have influenced rulemaking decisions and has diverted focus away from the ultimate goal of emission reduction.  Such approach – prescribing specific technologies – prevents operators from innovating and seeking alternative best practices and emerging technology to achieve reduction goals.  While technology and feasibility will always play a role, how does industry maintain steady focus on goals amid political pressures and competing agendas, and successfully defend their ability to be nimble and innovate their practices?  What are the lessons learned that may apply to future regulatory efforts?

Session: ​Ballot Battles –  Lessons Learned

​The oil and natural gas industry in Colorado is no stranger to contending with issues on the Colorado ballot. In a state where the ballot process is accessible to special interests, citizen groups and activists, the industry certainly isn’t the only one subjected to these ballot battles.  Transportation, growth, housing and health care are frequent issues that require the leadership and engagement of the business and civic community.  What lessons can we learn from each other?  This session will dive into the who, what and why that drives these ballot issues, and identify the opportunities for us to support each other going forward.

Session: ​Oil & Gas Employment Trends - Riding Through Market Disruptions

​Recent economic shifts have had a dramatic impact on the employment market, with compounding an already evolving employment market with the oil and gas industry.  With fewer larger companies and increase in smaller start-ups, job-seekers will need to adapt, develop new skills and take an entrepreneurial approach to employment.  What do the current trends mean for the oil and gas workforce in the state, and how can these emerging shifts provide expanded – if unconventional – opportunities for both employees and employers?

Session: ​Collaboration and Opportunity - Intergovernmental Cooperation in Oil & Gas Development

Oil and gas development in Colorado has always required state and local government coordination.  While SB19-181 has brought several changes to the development process, one thing has not changed – the need for state and local agencies to collaborate and work towards successful solutions that meet the needs of operators and the local community.  Join COGCC Chair Jeff Robbins and Thornton Mayor Jan Kulmann for a thoughtful discussion on the path forward, what best practices in intergovernmental cooperation can inform future development, and how the new professional COGCC will maintain successful working relationships with operators and local governments.

Session: Managing Risk: What Every Oil & Gas Leader Needs to Understand Climate and Public Health Trend

​​​​Studies have reached contradictory conclusions about whether climate change is harming human health. How should oil and gas leaders interpret these findings and mitigate the resulting policy and social risk to their companies? This panel will look at the potential public health impacts, how they are determined, and how they can be dealt with. Panelists will address why oil and gas leaders should pay attention and contribute to solutions with knowledge, wisdom and data.

Session: ​Oil & Gas Employment Trends - Riding Through Market Disruptions

​Over the past several years, many industries have seen the evolution to a “gig economy” – a trend defined by flexible contract-based employment where employees are freelancers and employers are adapting the needs of the moment.  With recent shifts in the Colorado employment market, the gig economic has arrived to oil and gas, with fewer larger companies, an increase in smaller start-ups and the need for an entrepreneurial approach to employment.  What does this mean for the oil and gas workforce in the state and how can these emerging trends provide expanded – if unconventional – opportunities for both employees and employers?

Kelly Brough

Welcoming Remarks

Energy Summit Profile

As president and CEO of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce, Kelly Brough is focused on putting more Coloradans to work – in really great jobs. It’s a clear call to action that’s driven this CEO from higher education to City Hall to the Chamber. Kelly has worked to advance our state and find opportunities for improvement, whether it’s advocating for P-20 education reform, implementing ground breaking programs like 3-1-1 and pay for performance for the City and County of Denver or consulting on dispute resolution for local governments. She’s directed an internationally recognized leadership program, been the chief of staff to then-Mayor John Hickenlooper and was the first female director of human resources for the City and County of Denver – in a common theme, she was also the first female snow plow driver at Stapleton International Airport and the first female CEO of the Denver Metro Chamber. Though born and raised in a small town in Montana, she’s Colorado to the core. In fact, you’re just as likely to catch her testifying at the capitol as you are to find her climbing mountain passes on her road bike.
