Last week the CourthouseDirect.com attended the 2014 Nape Expo in Houston, Texas. The Expo, considered the world’s largest E&P (upstream) exposition, provides oil and gas professionals the opportunity to buy, sell and trade oil and gas prospects and producing products, as well as get a preview of the tools that will shape the oil and gas community for the year.
This year, over 17,000 people make their way through the George R. Brown Convention Center downtown to meet with exhibitors and hear former Secretary of Interior, Ken Salazar speak.
We asked the team to share their thoughts about the Expo, and the successful launch of CourthouseDirect.com newest product, Lease Alert.
Jennifer Riley, Marketing Manager
“The NAPE expo is a great event because there is something for everyone. Whether you plan to market your product to the masses or simply find that one special deal, the NAPE expo can work for you. I was overwhelmed with the positive response we received by launching our new product, Lease Alert, at the event. We walked away with hundreds of new customers and learned a lot about the ever-changing energy industry. Lease Alert, powered by CourthouseDirect.com, is truly changing the way oil and gas professionals stay ahead of the game and we could not have picked a better event to debut the product.”
Martina Hairston, Customer Service Specialist
“NAPE allowed our team to showcase a product that is not only helpful but practical for the industry. As I spoke with attendees and exhibitors, their responses were the same, “this is amazing!” We walked away from the Expo with a renewed hope that this is the best product on the market and that excitement will continue to carry us ahead as we continue to finesse and fine tune our data at CourthouseDirect.com. 2014 is definitely the Year of the Landman.”
Karen Riddle, Business Development Manager
“The 2014 Winter NAPE Expo was a wonderful experience for the entire team at
CourthouseDirect.com. Not only did we meet a lot of very knowledgeable people in the oil and gas industry, it provided a dynamic platform for releasing our FREE Lease Alert feature on our website. The response from the NAPE attendees was remarkable. CourthouseDirect.com has real property records online and we are the largest title plant provider in t
he state of Texas. We have deemed 2014 as the year of the landman and are creating useful tools for the oil and gas industry to make their jobs eas
ier. In addition, we are expanding our county coverage as rapidly as possible to fulfill the needs of our customers in the Texas shale plays.”
Joe E. Garcia, Director, Data Services
“NAPE was a great experience that exposed the enormity of the opportunities for getting the right products out to consumers of Oil and Gas related data. It was a chance to hear directly from potential customer what they were looking for, which counties, what features, what and how to present the data. The main takeaway is that anything we can do to solve a problem for someone in the oil and gas industry has a HUGE market. Assuming we do our homework and dedicate the appropriate resources to keep the product pipeline full (pun intended), we will knock it out of the park.”
Over 900 companies exhibited at the Expo, and the CourthouseDirect.com was honored to be one of them. If you attended this year’s NAPE Expo, share your favorite moments in the comment section below.
