About Us

The Pennsylvania Independent Oil and Gas Association of Pennsylvania (PIOGA) is the principal non-profit trade association representing Pennsylvania's Independent oil and natural gas producers, marketers, service companies and related businesses. PIOGA member companies drill and operates the majority of the state's natural gas wells and a significant number of its crude oil wells.

PIOGA serves as a clearinghouse for Pennsylvania producers’ awareness of issues impacting their businesses. Through PIOGA communications, newsletters, emails, and meetings, producers become aware of changes in regulations early enough to have some response to the government agencies promoting these changes before they become “carved in stone”. PIOGA staff and committees work with regulators to achieve workable solutions to problems. PIOGA works to inform legislators and develop legislation that is hopefully more meaningful and less onerous for our industry.

The association is member-driven. The issues that we monitor are those with which the members are most concerned. Through the committee structure, companies have a mechanism to share ideas, concerns, and solutions. PIOGA is in summary a solution-oriented organization, which attempts to help members accomplish that which they may not be able to achieve alone.

Mission Statement

PIOGA will be recognized as the leading Appalachian oil and gas trade Association, promoting an environment favorable to the growth of the industry and developing Pennsylvania as an attractive state for oil and gas investment.
