History
NAPE Expo (formerly the North American Prospect Expo) was created in 1993 and saw 88 exhibiting companies and 780 attendees in a hotel ballroom. Since then, NAPE has grown to include more than 16,000 attendees and 900 exhibiting companies that command the entire George R. Brown Convention Center.
In 2005, Summer NAPE was added to the yearly schedule to answer industry demand for a mid-year event and now draws 5,500 attendees and 400 exhibiting companies each August.
Testimonials
"Every NAPE I have been to, I have sold at least one idea. Where else could I have a dozen face-to-face meetings in two days? Nowhere but NAPE."
Pat Fairchild, Fairchild Petroleum Interests
"It is the one industry event that everyone, no matter what the discipline, tries to attend."
George W. Roth, Range Resources
"NAPE is a critical marketing and networking event in the careers of thousands of America’s petroleum explorationists every year. There are so many NAPE success stories connecting deal buyers and sellers; it's hard to remember how much more difficult it was for explorationists to make those connections before NAPE existed."
Clint Moore, Geoscientist
"NAPE is the king networking place in the whole industry, and it has been for a long time."
Steve Wentworth, EOG Resources
"We are here just so we can look at deals. We’re trying to find the next place we can grow into."
Scott Herstein, Quicksilver Resources
