About

DEPA is…

A unique grassroots approach to domestic onshore oil and natural gas advocacy and education. We are an alliance of independent producers, royalty owners, oilfield service companies and state and national oil and natural gas associations.

A nationwide collaboration. DEPA and its 15 coalition associations – from California to West Virginia, Texas to North Dakota – represent about 10,000 individuals and companies engaged in domestic onshore oil and natural gas exploration and production (E&P).

Focused and Bipartisan. We believe in seeking common ground. We believe in common sense solutions to the challenges that face us in our businesses, including our relationship with the federal legislative and executive branches of government.

Young and Growing. In only its fifth year, DEPA now represents a majority of the individuals and companies responsible for the current renaissance in American oil and natural gas production.
