The American Petroleum Institute (API) is the only national trade association that represents all aspects of America’s oil and natural gas industry. Our more than 600 corporate members, from the largest major oil company to the smallest of independents, come from all segments of the industry. They are producers, refiners, suppliers, pipeline operators and marine transporters, as well as service and supply companies that support all segments of the industry.
The American Petroleum Institute was established on March 20, 1919:
- to afford a means of cooperation with the government in all matters of national concern
- to foster foreign and domestic trade in American petroleum products
- to promote in general the interests of the petroleum industry in all its branches
- to promote the mutual improvement of its members and the study of the arts and sciences connected with the oil and natural gas industry.
