Teemco Underwrites Major Sponsorship
For Oklahoma, Tulsa And Oklahoma State
Universities
Multi-university partnership is one of the largest in state history
OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA. – Representing
Oklahoma’s three largest universities,
Learfield Sports has reached a
five-year sponsorship agreement
with TEEMCO, an Oklahoma City
based professional environmental
engineering firm. The new partnership
between TEEMCO, the University of
Oklahoma, University of Tulsa, and
Oklahoma State University will start
in the 2014-2015 season. Details of
financial terms were not disclosed.
“Reaching out to the university
communities in Oklahoma is ver y
important,” said Greg Lorson, CEO
of TEEMCO. “This sponsorship will
enable people to learn about the role
of environmental engineering in the
oil and gas industry. Because of the
high visibility of Oklahoma college
sports in the state and across the
nation, we think this is a great way to
showcase some of the achievements
i n o u r i n d u s t r y. W e h o p e t h i s
partnership will inspire more students
to pursue energy related degrees.”
During the past three years, TEEMCO
has maintained a 200-percent annual
growth rate, leading it to become
the nation’s largest environmental
engineering firm in the oil and gas
industry.
“More and more aspects of oil &
gas operations are governed by
environmental regulations. The
industry needs a workforce equipped
to deal with a changing culture, a
culture of energy independence
with environmental sustainability,”
explained Lorson.
The multi-university agreement
includes receiving significant signage
at football and basketball games.
Additionally, TEEMCO has committed
to developing a scholarship program
and internship opportunities for
engineering and energy majors.
“We have some exciting things in
the works for the universities and the
industr y, which will be announced
in the upcoming months,” added
Lorson.
“ We ’ r e p l e a s e d t o h a v e h a d t h e

TEEMCO to craft something that
supports their corporate and social
responsibility objectives,” said Tim
Cline, Senior Vice President of

very quickly see the significant value
and reach of passionate collegiate
sports platforms, and are ready to
begin building on what we know
w i l l b e a g r e a t r e l a t i o n s h i p . We
believe this agreement is uniquely
Oklahoman and is a win-win for
TEEMCO and the universities.”
“This partnership is more than just
