Energy Exposition Presenter: Tom Kropatsch, Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission
Carbon Conference and Energy Exposition are partnering to bring all voices in energy together for sustainable solutions and industrial integrity.
Tom Kropatsch has been with the Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (WOGCC) since 2010 and served as Natural Resources Supervisor, Deputy Supervisor, and Interim Supervisor. In 2021, he was selected to be the Oil and Gas Supervisor.
During his tenure at the WOGCC, Tom has been responsible for the implementation of the agency’s environmental programs such as baseline groundwater quality; remediation and disposal of exploration and production generated wastes; recycling, reuse, and disposal of flow back and produced water; spill and incident response; pit and seismic permitting; and the bonding program.
Tom was the program director for the agency’s Class II Underground Injection Control program and since 2015 has been leading the replacement of the agency’s legacy database and development of the e-permitting system. Prior to his time with the WOGCC, Tom spent approximately ten years working in the environmental consulting industry.
A graduate of Oklahoma State University with a Masters in Geology, Tom is also a Wyoming registered Professional Geologist. Presently, he sits on the Wyoming Energy Authority board and most recently was appointed as Second Vice-Chair for the Interstate Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. He is also a graduate of the Leadership Wyoming Class of 2019
During his time off, Tom loves to travel, camp, and ski with his wife Dawn and their two daughters.
The Carbon Conference 2024 will bring sustainable stakeholders and energy enthusiasts together that wish to capture CO2 emissions safely and transport the CO2 via pipelines, allowing the captured CO2 to be permanently stored in deep underground formations. The Carbon Conference 2024 is dedicated to advancing the necessary conversation regarding carbon emissions, capture, transportation, and storage.
The Conference Center at the Tuscany Suites & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, is the perfect venue to encourage productive discussions and diverse dialogue - both pro and con - everyone’s voice will be heard in order to find a positive path forward for all parties concerned.
The Carbon Conference has partnered with the Energy Exposition & Resources Symposium on February 7-8 for multiple reasons. Their 25 years of successful Energy Exposition conferences is extremely valuable experience in the Carbon Conference's first year, however what may be more important is why it started.
Over 25 years ago, Wyoming was in the middle of an energy dispute similar to the carbon pipeline and storage issues. The Energy Exposition was started in order to broker peace and bring all voices to the table in a conference format. Twenty-five years later a similar situation is presented in the world of carbon.
We believe this partnership with the Energy Exposition & Resources Symposium will ensure fair deals will get done and peace will be brokered at the Carbon Conference 2024 Las Vegas.
The Carbon Conference is limited to 500 stakeholders, policymakers, impacted parties, and industry experts to ensure a solution-focused event, bringing together as many decision-makers to the table in order to discuss all the pressing issues related to carbon emissions.
We encourage you and/or your company to participate in this remarkable event. Sponsorships will not only allow your participation at the conference, but also provide your company with valuable exposure to a diverse audience of multi-industry professionals and stakeholders.
