Burleson LLP Shares Insights On Key Oil And Gas Issues At 10th Annual Astros Energy Forum
HOUSTON, April 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Burleson LLP underscored its commitment to delivering clients insight on critical issues influencing the oil and gas industry at the recent 10th Annual Astros Energy Forum. The event, which was sponsored by the firm, Grant Thornton LLP, and RBC Capital Markets, was held at Minute Maid Park during the opening night of the Houston Astros' 2015 baseball season.
A panel discussion titled Thriving and Surviving in the Downturn was moderated by managing partner Rick Burleson and addressed trends, terms, and lessons learned in today's challenging energy environment.
