Why PIOGA?

Here’s what one of our members has to say about the value of belonging to the Pennsylvania Independent Oil & Gas Association:

Moody and Associates, Inc. (Moody) is a private, environmental, geologic and engineering consulting firm that was established in western Pennsylvania in 1891. Moody has been a long-time supporter of PIOGA as we are advocates for many organizations within the oil/gas industry. While PIOGA is an “all hands-on deck” organization with the staff members wearing many hats, there are so many opportunities to take advantage of as a member of this organization. The available resources are many within PIOGA, which includes constant news updates, along with numerous networking, event and training opportunities. Moody greatly values our PIOGA membership and great sponsorship opportunities throughout the year.

From a personal and professional standpoint, I feel strongly in the value that PIOGA provides to its members. The operator members (conventional and unconventional) are well represented in the legislative, legal, regulatory, environmental and safety arenas by Dan Weaver and his staff. For non-operator members, there are a wealth of opportunities to get involved and make a difference with PIOGA. No matter your professional discipline, if you are willing to raise your hand and volunteer, there are opportunities for you. I have taken advantage of these opportunities with the organization over the years to have significant involvement in many aspects of the organization, where I have established many relationships with fellow PIOGA members that I truly recognize as business partners and friends.
