ABOUT IPAA

The Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA) has represented independent oil and natural gas producers for more than 90 years. On June 10, 1929, President Herbert Hoover called a national and state conference to discuss and formulate a practical program for the conservation of America’s natural petroleum resources. At that historic meeting at The Broadmoor hotel in Colorado Springs, Colorado, oil operators, royalty owners, and land owners alike formed a new national association, the Independent Petroleum Association of America.

Today IPAA is headquartered in Washington, D.C. where the association serves as an informed voice for the exploration and production segment of the industry, and advocates its members’ views before the United States Congress, The White House, and federal agencies. IPAA represents the thousands of independent oil and natural gas producers and service companies across the United States. America’s independent producers develop 91 percent of the nation’s oil and natural gas wells. These companies account for 83 percent of America’s oil production, 90 percent of its natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGL) production, and support over 4.5 million American jobs. A recent analysis has shown that independent producers are investing 150 percent of their U.S. cash flow back into American oil and natural gas development to enhance their already aggressive efforts to find and produce more energy.

In addition to advocacy efforts, IPAA hosts business development and networking opportunities for its members throughout the year.

HISTORY OF IPAA

The Independent Petroleum Association of America: More than 95 years of progress and service to the oil and natural gas producing industry.
Through boom and bust, IPAA has been on the front lines in support of America’s independent oil and natural gas producers. Founded in the summer of 1929 by a small group of determined independents, IPAA has grown to an organization of many thousands today. For more than 95 years, IPAA’s volunteer leaders have skillfully married business savvy with political skills to keep the independent oil and natural gas industry alive and thriving.

WHO ARE AMERICA’S INDEPENDENT PRODUCERS?

The U.S. Internal Revenue Code section 613A(d) defines an independent producer as a producer who does not have more than $5 million in retail sales of oil and gas in a year or who does not refine more than an average of 75,000 barrels per day of crude oil during a given year. There are about 9,000 independent oil and natural gas producers in the United States. These companies operate in 33 states and the offshore and employ an average of just 12 people.

Independent producers develop 91 percent of the wells in the United States – producing 83 percent of America’s oil and 90 percent of America’s natural gas. Independents can be small family companies or publicly traded companies. These companies efforts account for 3 percent of the United States’ Gross Domestic Product and they reinvest billions of dollars back into the American economy to discover and to produce more energy in the most cost-efficient ways. As the infographics below illustrate, IPAA members play a critical role in the nation’s overall economic vitality and energy security.
