Texas Oil & Gas Association is the petroleum trade association in Texas which unites the Texas oil and gas industry to work for a common good.   Founded in 1919, it is the oldest and largest organization in the state representing petroleum interests and continues to serve as the only organization in the state which embraces all segments of this industry.

There are approximately 2,000 members in the Association, some 500 of whom are executives of 50 of the state’s largest energy companies. The remaining members include: independent oil and gas producers, oil and gas producing and purchasing companies, refining companies, marketing companies, drilling contractors, land men, lease brokers, geologists, consulting engineers, royalty owners, pipe line companies and contractors, transportation companies, carbon black companies, geophysical companies, equipment and supply firms, well servicing contractors, oil and gas tax attorneys, insurance companies, banks, and others interested in promoting the welfare of the industry.

>There are three focal points for the Association’s activities: Legislation, Regulation and Public/Industry Affairs. The work of the Association is concentrated in these areas in order that it may be responsive to the ever-growing demands made on the industry by federal, state, and local governments and by the general public.  To do this the Association turns to its strong member supported committee structure which mobilizes industry representatives with expertise in various fields to deal with specific problems.
