Alaska Oil and Gas Association

What Alaska Oil and Gas Association does

Alaska Oil and Gas Association (AOGA) is a nonprofit professional trade association founded in 1966 and headquartered in Anchorage, Alaska. It represents the majority of companies that explore, develop, produce, transport, refine, or market oil and gas across Alaska's North Slope, Cook Inlet, and offshore regions. Its membership roster spans the full value chain and includes ConocoPhillips Alaska (Alaska's largest producer), ExxonMobil Alaska, Chevron, Hilcorp (the largest privately-held US independent E&P), Santos, Repsol, APA Corporation, Alyeska Pipeline Service Company, Marathon Petroleum, Petro Star, BlueCrest Energy, HEX/Furie Operating, Glacier Oil & Gas, and Shell, among others.

AOGA's core services are policy advocacy, member coordination, and industry communications rather than technology products. Deliverables include policy positions on NPR-A, ANWR, refining, and legislative matters; an annual industry conference; economic impact reports and fact sheets; the AKOG (Alaska Keep Oil and Gas Running) employee resource program; interactive North Slope and Cook Inlet activity maps; a presentation library for legislative and public engagement; and an annual industry awards program recognizing safety, innovation, environmental stewardship, and lifetime achievement. AOGA actively engages in federal and state regulatory processes, including intervening in litigation challenging the BLM's NPR-A rule and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Beaufort Sea Incidental Take Regulations.

AOGA operates as a membership-funded nonprofit governed by a board of directors with representation from member companies. The organization runs a small professional staff of approximately 5–10 (President/CEO, External Affairs Manager, Regulatory and Legal Affairs Manager, Office and Project Manager) out of a single Anchorage office. Go-to-market relies on direct enterprise member engagement, an annual conference, digital and social channels (website, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram), legislative presentations, and earned media. The collective Alaska oil and gas industry AOGA represents generates material economic impact for the state — $3.5 billion in state and local revenue (FY25), 70,425 direct and indirect Alaskan jobs supported, and $5.8 billion in annual spending with local businesses.
