Why Join GPA
Access To The Leading Edge Of Industry Research
The GPA cooperative research program has received
worldwide recognition because of its successes and benefits to the global
midstream industry. Over the past 40 years, a vast amount of data
has been collected from GPA-led research efforts. With GPA membership,
comes privileges, and most research reports and bulletins are available
for download.
Advocacy
For all companies, small, mid-size and large, GPA's increased presence
on Capitol Hill, enhanced communications with legislators and regulators,
and heightened focus on state midstream issues in the key states of Colorado,
Kansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and Wyoming serve to protect
members' interests in matters that companies might not otherwise be
involved. For major companies, our proactive involvement in the areas
described will not only supplement what your people with such responsibilities
are doing, but also serve as an extension to their capabilities.
Recognition
The GPA Awards Program is one of the most visible means that GPA meets
an obligation to more fully develop the gas producing and processing industry.
These awards are tangible, public evidence of appreciation by the industry,
the association, and industry colleagues to those individuals who have
contributed significantly to the advancement and development of the light
hydrocarbons industry. GPA Safety Awards recognize companies with outstanding safety records in the industry.
Professional Development And Networking Opportunities
GPA hosts the premiere yearly gathering of midstream industry professionals,
the GPA Convention. The event attracts
more than 1,500 attendees representing 450 companies and 18 countries
each year, providing an unparalleled opportunity to share best practices,
receive the industry's latest legislative and regulatory information
and benefit from technical sessions led by industry experts. GPA

individual memberships and provide an excellent avenue for networking
