Williams reposted this
Wrapping up my 2025 CERAWeek. A very different week from previous years - no presentations, no panels, no speaking engagements. Just listening and meetings on the sidelines, a great way to soak it all up. So many fantastic people in this industry, always great to connect. A few key takeaways: 1) incredibly proud to work at Williams. Our strategy and natural gas focus couldn’t be more relevant. Our executive team did a great job of telling our story, I never get tired of hearing it. 2) the work Jaclyn Presnal and team are doing around Power Innovation and New Energy Ventures is changing the game for our company. 3) there is a difference between “technically recoverable” and “politically recoverable” resources. Chef’s kiss from Alan Armstrong on this comment - this is why we need permitting reform. 4) something I’ve continued to look for are real, value-add, proven applications for AI in our business. I saw some this week, the gears are turning. What did I miss??

Great new look University of Wyoming School of Energy Resources! We’re happy to invest in energy-driven economic development, cutting edge research and academics that advance clean energy solutions.
Industry Spotlight // We are so excited to unveil the Williams Research Offices in the Energy Innovation Center! The beautiful vinyl wrap elevates the workspace of the Hydrogen Energy Research Center of SER, and recognizes the investment that Williams has made at SER in areas of hydrogen energy, carbon capture and storage, and water. A massive thank you to SER's Sabrina Kaufman for her design work and to Slate Group for the installation.

“We need to bring common sense back to building infrastructure here in the U.S.,” CEO Alan Armstrong said on a panel today at #CERAWeek. Much-needed energy infrastructure projects face a complicated regulatory process and are being stopped by special interests that weaponize the permitting system and prevent consumers from realizing the benefits of low-cost energy.

Streamlined permitting is essential to meeting growing global energy demand, said Chad Zamarin, EVP, Corporate Strategic Development. “People want energy choice. People want energy affordability. People want reliability.”
At CERAWeek 2025, leaders from two of our member companies, François Porier, President and Chief Executive Officer of TC Energy, and Chad Zamarin, Executive Vice President, Corporate Strategic Development of Williams, joined Melanie Little, President and CEO of Colonial Pipeline Company, and Eduard SALA DE VEDRUNA, Head of Research - Energy Transition, Sustainability & Services at S&P Global, to discuss challenges America faces in expanding and modernizing US energy infrastructure. In their #CERAWeek conversation, François Porier and Chad Zamarin shared potential solutions to help streamline the permitting process to accelerate the development of America’s energy infrastructure to meet growing global energy demand. Tune in to part of their remarks:

“We have plenty of supply in our producing basins and lots of growing demand, but we have to be able to get natural gas connected to these fast-growing markets and that takes infrastructure and that takes permitting,” says CEO Alan Armstrong from #CERAWeek.

“One of the most important aspects of this is having openness and clear transparency to build trust with all stakeholders.” Mark Gebbia, VP Environmental, Regulatory and Permitting, joined The University of Texas and Cheniere this afternoon at #CERAWeek, highlighting how the natural gas industry can work with academia to drive emission reductions through long-term collaboration.
