Our team had a blast at the 31st annual Halliburton Charity Golf Tournament. It was a beautiful day for our own Steve Granda and Ghery Sotomayor to put on their best game with Danny Von Krosigk, Baroid South Central PSL Operations Manager, and Diana Parios, Halliburton High-Performance WBM Product Champion. We were thrilled to be an Eagle Sponsor of this important event that supports more than 100 charities each year. This year netted a record-breaking $4M in donations! #CommunityService #Charity #HCGT #AmericanGilsoniteCompany

We’ve taken yet another step towards reducing our environmental footprint! Instead of letting old pallets go to waste, we partner with a third party to give them a new purpose. They’re either re-used or ground up into wood chips, perfect for landscaping or playgrounds! It’s one more way we’re making a positive impact on our planet, one pallet at a time. #SustainabilityMatters #EcoFriendly #GreenInitiatives #Recycling #AmericanGilsoniteCompany

TBT – Ever wonder how Gilsonite® started its journey? Back in the late 1800s, it was painstakingly mined with pickaxes and hauled by oxcart to Rifle, Colorado. From its early uses in asphalt road paving, paints, and waterproofing, the transformation has been remarkable. Today, Gilsonite® plays a crucial role in a wide range of oil and gas, foundry and printing applications.

Exciting progress in our sustainability journey! We’ve successfully reduced emissions from multiple remote mine sites by switching their power source. Previously reliant on diesel generators, we took the initiative to construct power lines connecting these sites to a local power plant consistently ranked as one of the most environmentally clean plants in America. This change has slashed over 400 metric tonnes of CO2 emissions annually! #SustainabilityMatters #LowerCarbonFootprint #Gilsonite #Uintaite #AmericanGilsoniteCompany
