This week, we’re proud to spotlight Cameron, a SLB Company—a true industry pioneer and a valued member of the St. Mary Chamber of Commerce!

Celebrating 100 Years of Innovation
Founded in 1920 by Harry Cameron and James Abercrombie, Cameron made history just two years later by inventing the world’s first blowout preventer (BOP)—revolutionizing oil and gas safety and setting a global standard still used today.

💡 Over the last century, Cameron has introduced groundbreaking innovations:
🔹 The first 10,000-psi production tree (1945)
🔹 The CAMERON T30 welded ball valve—an industry standard (1960)
🔹 Game-changing surface and offshore ram-type BOPs
🔹 DrillPilot software to improve drilling safety and performance (2017)
…and so much more.

With operations in 100+ countries, Cameron remains a powerhouse in pressure control technology—designing, manufacturing, and servicing the tools that make energy production safer and more efficient.

And right here in St. Mary Parish—the birthplace of Deepwater drilling—Cameron continues to play a vital role in the energy landscape, blending cutting-edge innovation with local impact.

Here's to 100 years of excellence and a future filled with bold solutions. We’re proud to have you rooted right here in our community.

This evening, my husband and I had the honor of attending a beautiful dedication at the Wedell-Williams Aviation & Cypress Sawmill Museum in memory of the incredible Mr. Lee Felterman; a man whose legacy soars as high as the planes he enjoyed.

As a member of the museum’s Board of Directors, it was a privilege to be part of such a meaningful moment, surrounded by stories, history, and the people who keep it alive.

Honoring Mr. Felterman’s impact reminded us all how important it is to preserve and celebrate the spirit of our community.
