The Independent Oil and Gas Association




Formed in 1959, the Independent Oil and Gas Association of West Virginia, Inc. is a statewide, non-profit trade association representing companies engaged in the extraction and production of natural gas and oil in West Virginia, and the companies and individuals which support extraction activities.

• Identifying and educating our members of the challenges and opportunities confronting our industry.
• Encouraging and projecting a unity of purpose among our membership.
