Oil and energy consultant Mike Cantrell is releasing his first book.
“Advance: How to Take Your Business, Brand and Your Life to the Highest Level” provides real-world examples from Cantrell’s 45 years of success in the business and public arena.
In 1975, Cantrell started Oklahoma Basic Economy Corporation, an Ada based oil and gas exploration and production company, specializing in enhancing production in more mature formations, serving as Pres-
ident until 2000. That year, Cantrell sold Oklahoma Basic Economy Corporation and a few months later, founded Cantrell Investments LLC, an oil and gas investment company, with assets primarily in Oklahoma., Texas and Kansas.
In 2009, Cantrell accepted a consulting position with Continental Resources, where he was an integral part of building the company’s Government Relations Division, eventually serving as Vice President of Governmental and Regulatory Affairs.
While at Continental, Cantrell maintained his oil and gas interests and upon leaving the company in March 2013, shifted his focus back to Cantrell Investments.
Cantrell is also very active in industry organizations and serves on the Board of Directors of Oklahoma Independent Petroleum Association, The Domestic Energy Producers Alliance, The Council for a Secure America, Citizens Bank of Ada, and is the Vice Chairman of Oklahomans for Lawsuit Reform.
The book launch will be held on May 20 at the Historic Ada Arts and Heritage Center.
