"It’s hard to overstate how critical access to affordable, reliable energy is. Colorado’s oil and natural gas industry plays a major role in ensuring families and businesses have the energy they need." Watch Carly West on @rmpbs Colorado Inside Out here: video.rmpbs.org/video/march-27…

"We produce over 13 million barrels of oil every single day. If we were in the same position that we were in 10 years ago... prices would have spiked significantly higher." API Pres. & CEO @mj_sommers sat down with @JacquiHeinrich on Sunday to discuss energy markets and Iran.

Great discussion at #CERAWeek today on American energy leadership, our role as a stabilizing force in energy markets, and why we need comprehensive, energy agnostic permitting reform to advance both.

“Broad, bipartisan, energy agnostic permitting reform” is the best way to lower prices for American consumers. — @MJ_Sommers at #CERAWeek.

EXCLUSIVE: American Petroleum Institute President Mike Sommers calls Strait of Hormuz critical artery for the flow of oil after meeting with VP Vance & other oil execs

“We're the world's largest producer of natural gas, the largest producer of crude oil, and that does bring a lot more stability to markets than what otherwise would be the case.” API’s Dustin Meyer on @BloombergTV.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Annual Day at the Capitol on March 11, where we had more than 80 people attend! Special thanks to @GOP_Jarvis and @RepTyWinter for their participation! We're thrilled with everyone who was able to engage directly with legislators and ensure share their insights about the issues that matter most to our industry.

“Pipeline infrastructure is re-emerging as a critical enabler of affordable, reliable, and secure energy. The next decade will be defined less by whether pipelines are built and more by whether they can be built fast enough.” — API’s Allyson Cutright and Jeff Barron in @AmppOrg’s new report ⬇️

If you are trying to get basic, up to date, statistics on the U.S. oil and gas industry - @APIenergy has you covered. Check out our "Industry Explained - Frequently Asked Data Questions" page. Interactive charts that answer regular questions like "How much crude oil does the U.S. produce?", or "Where does the U.S. import crude oil from?" and many others. Easy to use and find the facts you need. api.org/energy-insight…

“…it is a political imperative for politicians to finally get this done.” — @mj_sommers cnbc.com/2026/03/09/top…

As bipartisan permitting reform negotiations resume on Capitol Hill, there’s growing recognition the current system isn’t working. Durable reform is needed to build the energy infrastructure required to deliver affordable, reliable energy. eenews.net/articles/the-w…

Following the defeat of HB26-1121, API CO’s Carly West noted that Colorado already has a strong emissions reporting framework, adding that HB1121 would have required businesses to duplicate information in a burdensome way without improving transparency: tsscolorado.com/committee-kill…

"We are the world's buffer because we can produce it here safer and more reliably than any other place in the world." @mj_sommers joined @AmericaNewsroom this morning to discuss events in Iran and global energy markets.

A faster, more predictable permitting process strengthens energy reliability and helps lower costs for consumers.

10 years ago today, America exported its first cargo of LNG from the Gulf Coast. Today, America leads the world in LNG exports, supplying energy to allies while supporting economic growth here at home.

.@EnergyGOP will consider Stevan Pearce for @BLMNational Director this week. His deep experience in Congress and NM's State House make him well-suited to lead BLM and promote domestic energy dominance. API supports his confirmation and urges the Senate to act swiftly.

Smart, durable permitting reform will accelerate critical projects, cut delays and strengthen long-term energy security.

Cleaner power does not happen by accident. #Naturalgas has helped drive steady emissions reductions across the U.S. electricity sector while keeping the lights on💡

“Ultimately, it's the American consumers and it's American workers that pay the price.” – API’s Dustin Meyer on America’s broken permitting system on The Energy Mixx.

Happy Presidents Day! For decades, American presidents have pursued energy security — and today, we have it. Now our job is to keep it. Comprehensive permitting reform is how we make sure we can.
