Who Is Sally Goodson?
Thank you for inquiring about Goodson Energy Advisors. I founded GEA to help firms and individuals navigate the ongoing technical, regulatory and policy shifts in the oil and gas industry, especially during the Energy Transition. I have a unique skill set, having worked both upstream and midstream on oil and gas facilities, and implementing API standards, regulations and policy. In that capacity, I have had the opportunity to work for US government agencies, including among others, The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and The Department of Interior (DOI) as well as some International governmental bodies.
