Energy Industry Support International

What Energy Industry Support International does

Energy Industry Support International (EiSi), founded in 2012 and headquartered in Houston, Texas, is a private, volunteer-driven professional membership organization serving administrative, executive-assistant, and support professionals working in the oil, gas, and energy sector. The organization addresses a specific gap: support professionals in energy companies typically work in isolation within their own firms, with limited industry-specific training or cross-employer networking. EiSi's core offerings include two proprietary certifications (OGAP — Oil & Gas Administrative Professional, and OGVS — Oil & Gas Virtual Support), quarterly training sessions and field trips covering the energy value chain "from the reservoir to the pump," monthly networking events, an annual OGE (Oil, Gas & Energy) Conference and Vendor Exhibition featuring approximately 70 exhibitors, and a Vendor & Supplier Directory.

EiSi operates on a subscription-based revenue model with two primary tiers: Professional Membership at $135/year (or $55/month) and Vendor/Supplier Membership at $255/year (or $100/month), supplemented by conference registration, exhibition booth fees, and certification program fees. Distribution is community-led and event-driven: the EiSi Champions program embeds volunteer ambassadors inside member corporations to drive enrollment, while the website provides self-serve membership signup. The stated headcount is 1–10 (effectively a volunteer board), and the organization has no external funding, no parent company, and no disclosed enterprise contracts. Member-employer logos span major global energy companies including ExxonMobil, Shell, BP, Chevron, Baker Hughes, Halliburton, Schlumberger, ConocoPhillips, BHP, Equinor, TotalEnergies, Worley, TechnipFMC, Subsea 7, Woodside, OXY, Hess, Marathon Petroleum, and others.

The underlying technology footprint is minimal: EiSi runs a WordPress-based website (oilandgasadmins.org/eisi), basic member dashboards for certification programs, an e-newsletter, and social media channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, X, Instagram). There are no proprietary software platforms, AI/ML capabilities, or disclosed APIs. Strategic direction in the 2025–2026 window is signaled by the 2025 Onshore to Offshore Educational Cruise, the 2026 OGE Conference, and a newly announced 2026 collaboration with the SPE-GCS section on the Energy Professionals Hiring Event at OTC.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE): Massive global membership organization for petroleum engineers with certification, conferences, and training. EiSi is already a collaborating organization with SPE-GCS for the OTC hiring event. Comparable in mission (industry-specific professional development) at vastly larger scale.
• American Petroleum Institute (API): Primary U.S. oil and gas industry trade association with member companies, training, certification programs, and industry events. Comparable in the energy industry membership/association model, though at a much larger institutional scale.
• International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP): Long-standing global professional association for administrative professionals offering certification (CAP), training, and networking. Highly comparable to EiSi at the certification/community level but serves all industries rather than the energy vertical specifically.

Regional players

• Energy Workforce & Technology Council: Industry association serving the energy technology and services sector with workforce development, training, and networking programs. Comparable operating model of association-based training and certification in the energy services space.
• Petroleum Equipment & Services Association (PESA): Trade association for energy services and equipment companies with membership, training, and advocacy. Comparable in the energy industry membership/association model, though focused on the supplier side rather than individual professionals.

Emerging players

• Women in Energy Network: Professional networking organization for women in the energy industry with events, mentorship, and community building. Overlaps with EiSi's networking/community mission for the energy workforce, though oriented differently.
• National Careers Institute / OfficePro Network: Community and resource network for administrative and office professionals offering training, templates, and networking. Comparable in serving administrative professionals with certification-adjacent content, but not industry-specific to energy.

Direct peers

• American Association of Professional Landmen (AAPL): Energy industry-specific professional association offering certification, education, and networking for landmen. Closest structural analog to EiSi — niche energy vertical, certification, training, and member-driven community — though focused on a different job role.
