National Petroleum Day tailgate held in downtown Midland MIDLAND, Texas (KOSA) - The second annual National Petroleum Tailgate on Wall Street was held in downtown Midland to celebrate National Petroleum Day. The event included a machine exhibit, vendors and entertainment, along with free concerts and food trucks. The event was held in two parts: the tailgate and a gala inside the Petroleum Club of Midland, where organizers honored leaders shaping the industry’s future. The theme of the night was “Landman,” presented by the American Association of Professional Landmen. Leann Callihan, executive vice president and COO of APPL, said the association was proud to sponsor the event. “Well we are super excited to be a sponsor of National Petroleum Day and just celebrate what a wonderful and important industry that this day represents,” Callihan said. Callihan said landmen play an important role in the industry by interacting and negotiating with landowners. “You know what we like to say, without the lease there is no grease, and so landmen play such an important role in the energy industry,” Callihan said. The National Petroleum Day tailgate and gala both shared the pride of the Permian Basin with the community. The tailgate celebrates the first successful oil well drilled in the U.S., honoring the people, history and future of the industry that built the Permian Basin. Copyright 2026 KOSA.
