MEMBERSHIP

Membership Values

USOGA is the voice of domestic oil and natural gas producers with federal legislators and regulators. USOGA’s membership, dollar-for-dollar, is the best single return on investment you will find in any trade association. For the cost of a single part-time employee, USOGA members have a seat at the table for industry-defining issues. USOGA members play pivotal roles in tax, legislative and regulatory reform efforts. USOGA is a principal resource for the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate tax writers seeking input regarding the impact of various legislative proposals.
 

USOGA works very closely with all the congressional committees and leadership who have jurisdiction over our business and activities.
 
Your investment of time and resources builds advocacy, input, messaging and influence. The payback results, over time, in millions (for larger companies billions) of dollars in savings to your company through reduced regulatory costs and tax burdens and the benefits gained from pro-growth legislation.

Membership Advocacy

USOGA is a lean operation, nimble, quick and respected. Our size, notwithstanding our reputation, allows us in “through the side door” to lobby key decision makers on specific issues critical to our members. As the watchdog for industry and with USOGA members in key leadership positions (federal and state), we, as a group, deliver an authoritative, focused, valued and persuasive voice on industry issues. 
 

Because you agree that our mission as an advocate for domestic oil and natural gas production is important, USOGA members are the reason our industry is strong! USOGA actively promotes the mission day in and day out. With your membership, USOGA delivers a highly regarded public voice for our members regardless of corporate structure or size.
