Railroad Commission of Texas Commissioner Christi Craddick has called for greater cooperation between Texas and Mexican energy officials. Craddick was speaking at a recent international roundtable on oil and gas development in Laredo, Texas. The discussion, hosted by U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) at Texas A&M University, included U.S. and Mexican officials.
“Sharing in the economic wealth generated across our border means that Texas and Mexico naturally share similar concerns in the development of our mineral resources, including workforce capital, infrastructure that responds to our supply and demand needs, and regulatory compatibility,” Craddick said.
The gathering focused on developing a binational partnership including senior-level executives in the oil and gas sectors, elected officials, and agency administrators, and worked to establish knowledge and cooperation in cross-border energy trade opportunities in both countries.
“As Mexico’s newly privatized energy industry continues to develop and looks to maximize productivity, the Railroad Commission looks forward to sharing our expertise that has made places like the Eagle Ford Shale and others so successful,” Craddick said. “North America’s energy opportunity is endless if we can find commonality on these important issues in unity with our North American partners.”
