Why Energy Education Starts Here
Last week, Aurora facilitated the Bayou Region Energy Leadership Series at Port Fourchon on behalf of COLAB, and the setting made the case better than any presentation could. Port Fourchon services 100% of the Gulf of America's deepwater energy assets. It is the backbone of Louisiana's offshore energy industry and a critical link in the nation's energy supply chain.
