IOGCC

The IOGCC is a multi-state government agency whose mission is to promote the conservation and efficient recovery of the nation's domestic oil and natural gas resources while protecting health, safety and the environment.

In 1935, six states took advantage of a constitutional right to "compact," or agree to work together, to resolve common issues. Faced with unregulated petroleum overproduction and the resulting waste, the states endorsed and Congress ratified a compact to take control of the issues.

Today, the IOGCC's membership is comprised of 30 member states, eight associate states and nine international affiliate country members. The IOGCC is headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
