Mingle with the Energy Majors

Energy exploration and production has long been a significant aspect of Oklahoma’s economy with oil, petroleum and natural gas constituting its major products. Roughly one-quarter of all jobs in Oklahoma are tied to the energy industry, either directly or indirectly and even the state has benefited from high oil prices and rebounding natural gas prices which have propelled Oklahoma out from the last recession. A recent report2 reveals that over the last 12 months, the state has collected $11.3 billion in tax revenue — an all-time high – and one of the tax sectors that showed the most growth over the last was gross production taxes on oil and natural gas. In fact the Oklahoma City is situated in the middle of an oil field, with oil derricks even on the Capitol grounds. Several prominent energy companies are either headquartered or have important presence in the state capital. Two major names are Devon Energy Corporation and Chesapeake Energy Corporation which are also Fortune 500 companies. The presence of ample energy resources has also led to the growth of heavy to light industries in the region. In fact Forbes Magazine voted Oklahoma City as one of America’s top ten recession-proof cities in 2008 when the rest of the country was reeling under the financial crisis brought on by mortgage and banking collapse. The magazine reported OK City benefiting from “falling unemployment, one of the country's strongest housing markets and solid growth in agriculture, energy and manufacturing”3. So if you want to mingle with the richest singles of the state, look out for wealthy industrialists and company executives at the convention centers, business conferences or luxury hotels in the downtown areas of major cities like Tulsa and Oklahoma City or in any of the Business Improvement Districts across the city.
