The Evolution of the Texas Upstream Oil and Gas Economy

When:  Feb 18, 2026 from 09:00 AM to 10:00 AM (CT)
Associated with  Asset Management Community

Texas has long been central to U.S. oil and gas activity, but the shape of its upstream economy has shifted as domestic energy markets and production patterns have evolved.

Join Karr Ingham, Petroleum Economist and President of the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers, for an upcoming SPE Asset Management Technical Section (AMTS) webinar that examines these changes through a data-driven lens. Using the Texas Petro Index as the foundation of the discussion, Ingham walks through how employment, economic output, and industry activity have moved over time, and why those trends matter beyond Texas.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How changes in U.S. energy production have influenced Texas’s upstream economy
  • What the Texas Petro Index reveals about industry activity, employment, and output
  • How Texas’s role in the upstream sector has evolved over time
  • Why these trends are relevant for investment decisions, policy discussions, and long-term energy planning
  • Date: Wednesday, February 18, 2026
