Help protect the people who protect our communities.

PBPA is calling on our members and the Permian Basin energy community to join us in helping the Midland Fire Department transition away from PFAS-containing firefighting foam—commonly known as “forever chemicals.”

The department currently has approximately 20 fire engines carrying PFAS-containing foam, and properly cleaning and transitioning each truck to PFAS-free foam is estimated to cost $25,000 per engine.

Through the Sponsor a Fire Truck initiative, your company can make a direct, tangible investment in the firefighters who protect our communities and the energy industry every day—while helping advance a proactive solution to reduce future environmental impacts and cleanup costs.

Sponsor a truck for $25,000, contribute at any level, or partner with other organizations to fund a truck together.

Every contribution helps move Midland one step closer to a safer, more sustainable firefighting fleet.

The PBPA, in conjunction with Vista One, created an outline of recommended practices to combat oilfield crime, incorporating physical, cyber, and operational security measures alongside strategic recommendations for technology deployment and coordination with industry partners. Enhanced reporting protocols and structured training programs further solidify the approach, ensuring all personnel are equipped and informed to contribute to crime prevention and incident response.

The measures included herein are not intended to be the only solutions that may be needed to combat oilfield crime, but they are intended to be a good beginning to address criminal activity and protect your assets and employees.

These recommended lighting practices are the result of a collaborative effort between the members of the Permian Basin Petroleum Association (PBPA), headquartered in Midland, Texas, and The University of Texas McDonald Observatory, located in Ft. Davis, Texas. The PBPA strongly supports the McDonald Observatory and the endeavors it strives to accomplish. Knowing that dark skies are vital to those endeavors, the PBPA and the McDonald Observatory offer the included recommendations to accomplish just that. These recommendations are targeted at operations in the Texas Counties of Brewster, Culberson, Hudspeth, Jeff Davis, Pecos, Presidio, and Reeves.
