ConocoPhillips lands in Midland the week of the Permian Basin energy summit

ConocoPhillips flew from Roger M Dreyer Memorial Airport near Gonzales, Texas, to Midland International Air and Space Port on the evening of June 2, a 50-minute hop aboard the company's Embraer ERJ-145XR, tail N284CP.

The flight arrives the same week the Permian Basin Energy Summit convenes in Midland, per the event's published schedule. The conference, which runs June 3-5, draws operators, service companies, and regulators to discuss production outlooks and infrastructure in the nation's most prolific oil field. ConocoPhillips, which holds substantial acreage in the Delaware Basin portion of the Permian, typically sends senior executives to such gatherings.

The trip follows a pattern of recent flights by ConocoPhillips between Houston-area bases and Midland, including a June 1 arrival from KMAF to the Houston system. The company's ERJ-145XR is primarily used for crew rotations to the North Slope, but this week's routing suggests a focus on lower-48 operations.
