Key Issues

Learn more about the national issues and key priorities that IPAA is engaged in on behalf of independent oil and natural gas producers across the United States:

Crude Oil Exports

American energy shipped overseas makes the nation’s economy, consumers and national security stronger.

The upcoming November elections are crucial, and every citizen should take the opportunity to exercise their right to vote. Don’t ever think that your vote doesn’t matter. Just one vote can make a big difference.

Methane Emissions

As America’s low-carbon natural gas consumption soars, U.S. methane emissions plummet.

Energy and Taxes

IPAA continues to fight to preserve industry tax treatment and to prevent new taxes that would hinder independents’ ability to operate and produce energy for the American people.

Offshore Energy Development

Offshore oil and natural gas production accounts for 20% of all U.S. energy production.

Facts About Fracking

Thanks to new technologies and horizontal drilling, America is the world’s oil and natural gas leader.

Energy Prices & The Costs of Oil

Oil and natural gas producers are doing all that they can to safely increase American crude oil production.

Endangered Species

Independent oil and natural gas producers are committed to species and habitat conservation.

IPAA is the 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; but with these challenges arise unique opportunities that IPAA is seizing for our members.
