Experienced attorney Duke Ligon concentrates on work with oil, gas, and natural resources companies in and around Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The founder of Mekusukey Oil Company, he has additionally served as a member of the boards of directors of such companies as Emerald Oil Inc. and PostRock Energy Corporation. Duke Ligon’s extensive resume also includes participation in a United States delegation that formalized the International Energy Agency (IEA) in Brussels, Belgium, in 1974.
The IEA was originally conceived as an answer to the problem of oil scarcity and soaring prices during the embargo crisis of the early 1970s. It is currently composed of 29 member nations and operates as an independent organization charged with assuring its members that their citizens will have ongoing access to cost-efficient and reliable energy sources. The IEA’s chief areas of focus in this regard include environmental stewardship, energy security, growth of markets, and a program of global engagement.
Today, the organization takes a leading role in providing authoritative, in-depth analysis and information on a wide range of energy-related topics. And it looks beyond its own membership to stress the necessity of a worldwide focus in the quest for sustainable energy sources and practices. Over the past two decades, the IEA has worked to construct solid working relationships with other nations that produce or import energy on a large scale.
