The Permian Basin Water in Energy Conference (PBWIEC) is dedicated to advancing water management in the energy industry, bringing together experts from around the world to discuss innovative solutions and strategies. Our mission is to lead the conversation on water management within the energy industry, facilitating collaboration and knowledge-sharing to drive sustainable solutions. The Permian Basin Water In Energy Conference is a program of The University of Texas Permian Basin. The UT Permian Basin College of Business Advisory Council, with Jim Woodcock at the helm, planted the conference idea in 2017. Since then, the PBWIEC has grown into a sought-after networking event and annual marketplace of ideas. UT Permian Basin’s Shepperd Leadership Institute is now home to the PBWIEC, allowing students at UTPB to directly benefit from the conference proceeds.
