Washington, D.C. – Today, the American Exploration & Production Council (AXPC) announced the launch of its new podcast, Longer Laterals, hosted by AXPC CEO Anne Bradbury. The series will feature in-depth conversations with key players from America’s independent producers to explore the technologies, policies, and people shaping our nation’s energy future.
“This is where America’s energy story meets Washington,” said Anne Bradbury, CEO of AXPC. “Every day, independent producers are drilling smarter, going farther, and delivering the energy that fuels our economy and strengthens our national security. This podcast is about diving into that world, talking tech, policy, production, and pressure points, through conversations with the people who live it.”
The debut episode features Travis Stice, Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors at Diamondback Energy and a longtime oil and natural gas industry leader with nearly four decades of experience. Stice has played a pivotal role in shaping the Permian Basin into a powerhouse of American energy and brings deep perspective on the evolution of the Shale Revolution.
