SAGE 2022
SAGE 2022 Luncheons
All convention registrants will receive complimentary buffet lunches at the Petroleum Club of Lafayette on Thursday and Friday (except one-day registrants). In each of the 3–4 session rooms, there will also be a designated luncheon presentation (speakers/topics TBA). We also have a dining area for attendees that may wish to enjoy their meal in a more quiet setting without a speaker. If you’ve already been to the Petroleum Club, you know what to look forward to; if not, be prepared to enjoy a selection including three entrees (including fried catfish on Thursday and fried shrimp on Friday), multiple side dishes, and a salad bar. A la carte dining, at your own expense, will be open for your convenience from 7 am until 9 pm.
The All-Convention Luncheon presentation will require an additional fee.

Jeff Landry, Attorney General of the State of Louisiana
Title
TBA
Biography
Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry grew up watching his middle- class parents sacrifice to ensure their children’s success. Inspired by their guidance, Attorney General Landry joined the Louisiana National Guard while still in high school and worked his way through the University of Southwestern Louisiana as a police officer and sheriff’s deputy.
Recognized for his success as the owner of an oil and gas environmental service company, Attorney General Landry was selected Executive Director of the St. Martin Parish Economic Development Authority, helping recruit a Fortune 500 company and spur the economic energy corridor on Louisiana’s Highway 90.
At a later age, Attorney General Landry went to law school, starting part-time at Southern University then finishing his law degree at Loyola University. He then returned to Acadiana as a business attorney, helping job creators navigate the complexities of our legal environment.
In 2010, Attorney General Landry was elected to the United States House of Representatives where he had a 100% pro-life voting record and became known as a ferocious advocate of the Constitution, a leader on domestic energy policy, and a promoter of true reductions in wasteful government spending.
On January 11, 2016, Mr. Landry was sworn in as Louisiana’s Attorney General. In just his brief term as the State’s chief legal officer, Attorney General Landry has already upheld his pledge to make our communities safer by halting federal overreach, fighting public corruption, and arresting child predators.

Ushering in the Next Era of Texas Energy Independence
Biography
For the past 13 years, Sarah has helped energy-related businesses understand, mitigate, allocate, and manage risk. She is now bringing that experience to help others learn from past experiences and avoid the same mistakes. Sarah is licensed to practice in Louisiana, Texas, and Colorado (pending in Mississippi). And yes, one of her favorite things to do is banter about indemnity provisions and new insurance provision wording. But the world is changing. And the legal industry is slow to adapt.
Sarah is actively working with other oil and gas industry leaders to develop smart contracts and utilize blockchain technology to avoid legal issues. We now have data that can prevent accidents. It was nearly impossible to know what happened downhole 60 years ago. That is rapidly changing and she is helping clients develop new ways of contracting and insuring risks by integrating data into legal decisions.
