At least two presidential hopefuls, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., Nikki Haley, were on hand Monday for an energy gathering in Oklahoma City’s Hamm Institute for American Energy.
Founded by Continental Resources leader Harold Hamm, the Institute was the site of the American Energy Security Summit featuring not only Burgum and Haley but others such as former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, former U.S. Energy Secrtary Dan Brouillette, and economic and energy writer Stephen Moore.
The focus of the summit was “American energy” which the Institute called the “key to energy security for America and its allies.”
Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford was also a speaker as was Shaikh Abdulla bin Rashid bin Abdulla AlKhalifa who is the ambassador of the Kingdom of Bahrain to the United States of America. Other notables included former Labor Secrtary Elaine Chao, South Carolina U.S. Rep. Jeff Duncan, Cheniere Energy President and CEO Jack Fusco, Occidental Petroleum President and CEO Vicki Hollub, Devon Energy’s Rick Muncrief, Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt and Mike Sommers of the American Petroleum Institute.
