Sign up to make your voice heard in Washington DC as U.S. leadership focuses on issues impacting the oil and gas industry.
A voice in both industry and government affairs though the established committees within the DPA such as the Governmental Affairs Committee. In addition, the GAC prepares official Statements, which are then approved by the DPA President, and the AAPG Executive Committee.
AAPG Statements
As a professional, scientific association, AAPG is a credible source of information of interest to a wide spectrum of individuals. AAPG has a proud history of providing information to decision-makers and the public on matters concerning the science and profession of petroleum exploration.
In this role, AAPG has given testimony before the U.S. Congress, provided information to lawmakers on a national, state and local level, and has adopted statements that the association believes are of importance.
At the bottom of each AAPG Statement Policy are links to legislation under consideration in Congress. These lists do not itemize each bill introduced, but rather bills that have been passed by Congressional Committees and/or the House of Representatives or Senate. It is important to note that these legislative efforts may be combined and renamed, and many will never be enacted into law. But they do provide a sense for where Congress is focusing its efforts. These links will be updated regularly by GEO-DC.
The following are the statements that are currently in effect. These were revised or added in June 2007 and will be reviewed periodically.
