根据德克萨斯州能源生产商联盟8 月 12 日发布的新闻稿，卡尔英厄姆 (Karr Ingham) 被任命为该联盟新任主席，该任命将于 7 月 1 日起生效。

英厄姆于 2023 年被任命为临时主席，此前五年他曾担任该组织的执行副主席。

联盟董事会主席杰森·赫里克 (Jason Herrick) 在公告中表示，英厄姆“自 2003 年以来一直以各种身份与联盟合作，并在过去九个月中出色地担任了我们的临时主席，表现出了卓越的领导能力和奉献精神”。

英厄姆专门研究德克萨斯州的区域和能源经济。他是美国独立石油协会供需委员会联合主席，也是国内能源生产商联盟的董事会成员。

作为主席，英厄姆将继续担任联盟的石油经济学家，并每月发布该协会的德克萨斯石油指数，该指数衡量德克萨斯州上游石油和天然气行业的增长率和周期，以及德克萨斯二叠纪盆地石油指数。

英厄姆在新闻稿中表示：“在石油和天然气行业不确定的时期，我很荣幸被任命为联盟主席。无论谁在 11 月赢得美国总统大选，联盟都将坚定地捍卫我们成员的利益以及德克萨斯州的石油和天然气行业免受州和联邦层面的过度扩张和不良政策的影响。”

Karr Ingham has been appointed as the new president of Texas Alliance of Energy Producers, effective July 1, according to an Aug. 12 press release by the oil and gas association.

Ingham was named interim president in 2023, and had served as executive vice president of the organization for five years prior.

Ingham “has worked with the Alliance in various capacities since 2003 and served admirably as our interim president for the past nine months, demonstrating exceptional leadership and dedication,” Jason Herrick, chairman of the Alliance’s board of directors, said in the announcement.

Ingham specializes in regional and energy economics in Texas. He co-chairs the supply and demand committee of the Independent Petroleum Association of America and serves on the board of directors of the Domestic Energy Producers Alliance.

As president, Ingham will continue his role as a petroleum economist for the Alliance and the monthly release of the association’s Texas Petro Index, which measures the growth rates and cycles of the Texas upstream oil and gas industry, and the Texas Permian Basin Petroleum Index.

“It’s an honor to be named president of the Alliance during this period of uncertainty for the oil and gas industry,” Ingham said in the release. “Regardless of who wins the U.S. presidency in November, the Alliance will staunchly defend the interests of our members and the oil and gas industry in Texas against overreach and bad policy at both the state and federal levels.”
