Railroad Commissioner Christi Craddick welcomed members of the American Chamber of Commerce in Argentina (AmCham Argentina) at the Commission's Austin headquarters on May 19.
As a global leader, the RRC routinely hosts foreign delegations eager to learn from the Commission's experience in overseeing one of the world's most dynamic energy economies.
Commissioner Craddick provided opening remarks to the delegation, highlighting the RRC's regulatory responsibilities and the importance of international engagement.
"We are honored to welcome back AmCham Argentina members to Texas, and to engage with them in thoughtful dialogue on energy policy," said Commissioner Craddick. "The RRC remains a key player in maintaining Texas' position as a global leader in responsible energy development, and discussions like these strengthen our efforts."
AmCham Argentina representatives ask an assembled panel of RRC subject matter experts about regulatory frameworks, operational safety, and pipeline infrastructure.
Following the presentation, representatives asked the assembled panel of RRC subject matter experts about a variety of topics, including Texas' regulatory framework, operational safety, pipeline infrastructure and produced water management.
This visit marks the second time in less than a year that an AmCham Argentina delegation has met with the RRC. In June 2025, more than 30 members of the national legislature, government officials, industry executives and municipal leaders visited the RRC in Austin as part of a broader tour of Texas' energy sector.
The commission has also recently hosted Canadian Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre as well as senior representatives from four leading Canadian pension funds and five major Canadian banks, all interested in learning more about Texas' leadership in energy development.
