Energy In Depth

Energy In Depth Become a fan of American energy production, and join the 1.2 million Americans hard at work responsibly developing our domestic energy resources.

Launched by the Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA) in 2009, Energy In Depth (EID) is a research, education and public outreach campaign focused on getting the facts out about the promise and potential of responsibly developing America’s onshore energy resource base – especially abundant sources of oil and natural gas from shale and other “tight” formations across the country. It’s

an effort that benefits directly from the support, direction and technical expertise of a broad segment of America’s oil and natural gas industry, led in Washington by IPAA, and guided on the ground by IPAA’s more than 6,000 members and affiliates in the states. Join in on the conversations here, and learn more about what we're doing to keep energy affordable here at home, create new jobs and minimize our dangerous dependence on foreign oil. Comment Policy:

Here we go again. Senate Democrats are demanding internal documents from seven major energy companies to build the case for a Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax, the same idea that failed in 2022 when investigations found zero evidence of price gouging.

Global supply disruptions drive gas prices up, not oil company profits, and no new tax is going to change that.

Just weeks after Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse and Rep. Ro Khanna revived the Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax Act, Whitehouse is now teaming up with Sen. Elizabeth Warren to repackage the same bad idea against American energy producers.

"The core challenge facing the U.S. is not a lack of resources, but a chronic failure of getting energy where it needs to go — be it Boston or Berlin. Over recent decades, the U.S. permitting system has devolved into a state of bureaucratic dysfunction, where projects that used to take years now take decades to complete. " - Alan Armstrong

A recent campaign criticizing Texas produced water reuse featured imagery suggesting oilfield wastewater could end up in crops and drinking water.

Except the photo wasn't even from Texas - it's a turkey farm operation in North Carolina completely unrelated to Texas oilfields, produced water treatment, or the legislation being criticized.

Once again, the Sierra Club has attacked the oil and gas industry, and this time, the group is using misleading stock imagery to prop up its false claims. Back in April, the organization published a highly critical report on Texas’ produced water industry.
