Sixty years of advocacy and partnership for Alaska's oil and gas industry and the people who are at the heart of it. Now that's a track record and milestone to be proud of. 💪 Alaska and our industry are fortunate to have you. Thanks for all that you and your hardworking teams of the past and present do, and will continue to do, for Alaska, Alaska Oil and Gas Association! And here's to 60 more!

Did you know?
This year marks 60 years of the Alaska Oil and Gas Association. From the Swanson River discovery to today, AOGA has been a major part of Alaska’s oil and gas history. Supporting safe operations, advocating for development, and helping bring more than 18 billion barrels of Alaska’s oil to market.

Before becoming the association we know today, AOGA began as the “Alaska Committee” of the Western Oil and Gas Association, the oldest petroleum trade group in the nation. After early discoveries on the Kenai Peninsula and in Cook Inlet, AOGA officially incorporated in 1966 and later became its own stand-alone association in 1989.

For over five decades, AOGA has served as the voice of Alaska’s oil and gas industry, representing a diverse membership and working to ensure a strong, stable future for one of Alaska’s most important economic sectors.

We look forward to seeing you all this week at the AOGA Conference in Anchorage! August 26–27 at the Dena’ina Civic and Convention Center!
