Oklahoma State University and went to work for Warren Petroleum. It was her supervisor at Warren Petroleum that introduced her to NADOA and SADOA. Jan has continued to be a part of both organizations off and on since these early days in Division Orders. Her favorite thing is to be able to help those owners that have little or no real knowledge of their ownership or even the oil and gas industry. Her goal is to have them remember that we were considerate and dependable when they contacted us for assistance. Jan and her husband, Jim, live in Owasso, OK. They enjoy cooking together, working on home projects and traveling. They have two sons. One son is married and living in Phoenix, AZ (whom they especially like to visit in the winter!). The other son is married and lives in Bartlesville, OK. They have two grandsons and welcomed their first granddaughter in December 2018!

I believe man has an impact and I believe that we need to take steps to mitigate emissions urgently.”
United States’ leading source of carbon-free electricity.
Early in 2018, FERC rejected a Trump administration plan to rescue the collapsing coal industry as well as dismissing subsidies for coal and nuclear power plants. The coal industry faces increasing competition due to the abundance of natural gas in the US as well as the lowering costs of wind and solar energy. Carbon emissions have declined to several-decade lows, which Chatterjee noted is “largely being driven, not by regulations, but by market forces. By consumer choices” .
Chatterjee stated, “We’ve been encouraged and excited to see the increased utilization of renewables” and commended the rise in popularity of cleaner energy such as natural gas, wind and solar. However, he is “very concerned” about the loss of nuclear power, which is the
