Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association

What Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association does

Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association (LMOGA) is a private, member-funded nonprofit trade association founded in 1923 and headquartered at 730 North Boulevard (the LMOGA-Standard Oil House) in Beauregard Town, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It is the incumbent industry voice for all sectors of Louisiana's oil and natural gas industry, including exploration and production, refining, transportation and midstream, and an adjacent layer of professional services firms in law, engineering, environment, financing, and government relations that operate across Louisiana and the Gulf. The association's portfolio of services is built around a recurring membership model: members gain access to a member portal, committees, news and publications, an annual meeting (historically in New Orleans), legislative receptions, governmental affairs offsites, and parish-to-parish in-person engagement with Louisiana business, community, and government groups. Advocacy output spans local, state, and federal levels and is anchored by recurring economic impact studies (the most recent released April 28, 2025, attributing 25% of Louisiana's economy, 306,750 jobs, and $77.7 billion in annual value to the energy sector) and policy initiatives on coastal restoration, hurricane preparedness, hydraulic fracturing, and carbon capture.

LMOGA generates revenue almost exclusively through membership dues paid by oil and gas operators and adjacent professional services firms; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is administered through the members.lmoga.com portal. Its go-to-market is community-led: the association markets through its website, an Instagram presence under #LMOGA, email newsletter distribution, and in-person events, and distributes services and advocacy through the membership portal, annual meetings, legislative receptions, and direct parish-to-parish meetings. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors representing member companies and is led by President Tommy Faucheux. There are no software products, APIs, SDKs, AI-enabled offerings, or third-party technology integrations disclosed; the technology stack is limited to a website (lmoga.com), a Member365-based member portal, and standard organic social channels.
