Guide to Oil and Gas Organizations
Oil and gas professional organizations offer an array of resources to the busy professionalOil and gas organizations have a keen interest in policy issues. The groups use scientific, legal and economic analysis to support legislative policy positions. They give you a unified voice and allow you to participate in policy-making forums. Consider:
1. Using oil and gas organizations to grow as a professional in the industry.
2. Different membership levels at oil associations.
3. Taking advantage of networking and lobbying opportunities.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Join oil and gas professional organizations to get your voice heard
Oil associations play a key role in lobbying of governmental policies. Gas and oil production affect every American. Joining an organization gives your voice more strength.
I recommend:
Texas Oil and Gas Association (TXOGA) is a petroleum association that represents the Texas oil and gas industry, with a goal of working toward the common good. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in the prosperity of the oil and gas industry in Texas. Download a membership application. The Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA) offers statistics and information to its members. It's an informed segment of the industry that explores and produces gas and oil. Join IPAA online. Use Energy Personnel to find additional oil and gas associations throughout the country.
Pay annual dues to belong to oil organizations
Oil and gas associations' dues usually range depending on the membership level. Once you find an association you want to join, decide what type of commitment your company is willing to give.
I recommend:
American Association of Professional Landmen (AAPL) strives for the highest levels of performance for all land professionals. The goal is to encourage stewardship of mineral and energy resources and advance landmen's stature. Membership benefits include publications, certifications, networking and educational opportunities. American Gas Association (AGA) is the national trade association of energy utility companies that deliver natural gas. Their goal is to protect their industry's interest, address common concerns and promote excellence. Membership categories include full, associate, limited and international members. Apply for each one via the website.
Benefit individually and professionally from joining gas associations
When you join petroleum associations, you're linked to important industry information. Benefits typically include access to magazines, business reports, certification opportunities, courses, groups and forums.
I recommend:
American Petroleum Institute (API) is the leading petroleum association of the oil and natural gas industry. There are more than 400 members from all parts of the industry. Benefits of membership include an annual meeting, discount on publications, support and representation. Watch an API membership video online. Join the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE) if you're committed to boosting energy efficiency, using alternative energy service options, upgrading your facility operations and enhancing environmental management programs. Membership dues include subscriptions to publications, discounts on training programs and professional services and numerous networking opportunities.
