About Us
The New Denver Petroleum Club (DPC) was formed to bring people together in a social setting to host meetings, make contacts and have social events geared toward the Oil and Gas Industry in the Rockies. We organized the club and relocated it to the Denver Athletic Club at 1325 Glenarm Place, Denver, Colorado. The Denver Petroleum Club, LLC is a Colorado limited liability company doing business as the Denver Petroleum Club. It was formed by Charles W. Goodin, President of the DPC, and Petrogulf Corporation with the help of Douglas Cameron McLeod, the owner of Petrogulf Corporation. The old Petroleum Club was doing business as the Pinnacle Club and was located in the Anaconda Tower on the 37th and 38th floors at 555 17th Street but went bankrupt in 2005. Petrogulf purchased the remaining assets of the Pinnacle Club including the old DPC plaques, art work and president’s pictures etc.
History
The Denver Petroleum Club started in 1946 with a holiday party organized by Bill and Maury Goodin of Petroleum Information The Party was at the Albany Hotel, located at the corner of 17th St. and Stout with an open invitation to all those in the oil and gas industry in the area. The idea was to get everyone together at one time. “It was a tremendous success”, recalls [Bill] Goodin. It was from that occasion that the organizers conceived the idea of starting the Petroleum Club, a place for socializing and for the exchange of information” DPC Newsletter July, 8 1994.
