RBC I Rio Blanco County administrator Kimberly Bullen said the county has teamed up with WPXEnergy to host the first Lunch-n-Learn on Feb. 16, in the commissioners’ meeting room, starting at noon.
“These meeting will provide an opportunity to hear from industry experts and others on a variety of topics and will allow for an open dialogue on various subjects,” Bullen said.
Gretchen Kohler, a principal environmental specialist whose area of expertise is water quality will be the guest speaker on the topic of “Voluntary Colorado Oil and Gas Association water sampling analysis plan.”
“Our goal is to select topics that are current and that interest people in our community or topics that folks might have questions about,” Bullen said. “We want these sessions to serve as an educational forum to help people understand the issue around the energy industry.”
Bullen said they hope to host a lunch once a month relating to topics in the oil and gas industry.
The meeting is open to the public and attendees are asked to bring a lunch and enjoy the informative session.
