Join IPAA

For 97 years, the Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA) has served as the national trade association representing independent oil and natural gas explorers and producers across the United States. IPAA is your industry’s strongest presence in the nation’s capital. And these are important times. The entire oil and gas industry remains under fire from anti-development groups and misguided federal policymakers.

With today’s challenging political landscape, the industry needs your support now, more than ever before, to increase our voice and create a unified front. IPAA is leading this fight.

  • The IPAA has been, and remains, one of the most powerful voices of support and leadership for our industry. Your attendance, participation and support of their meetings and events will keep the IPAA healthy for years to come.

    T.M. "Roe" Patterson, President & CEO, Basic Energy Services

  • I can't think of a better organization to get the message about the independent producer in the United States out to the general public. IPAA is the source of choice, in my opinion, for all of us in the business for accuracy and certainly for the way we deliver our message in a non-partisan manner.

    James Volker, Former Chairman & CEO, Whiting Petroleum
