Government & Regulatory Engagement
The EnerGeo Alliance supports and fosters science- and risk-based regulations consistent with existing practices that are proven to be environmentally responsible, effective and operationally feasible.
As the cornerstone of the energy and petroleum and natural gas industries, the EnerGeo Alliance works vigorously towards fair and objective industry practices regulatory measures in effort to help balance the world’s increasing demand for energy with global environmental goals. As the global trade association representing all segments of the energy geoscience industry, the EnerGeo Alliance represents member companies that are essential to discovering and delivering the world’s energy resources.

Global Treaty Organizations and Conventions
As part of the EnerGeo Alliance Strategic Plan, we continue to expand our global presence in order to maintain and enhance our members’ freedom to operate, the EnerGeo Alliance works with and participates in appropriate treaty organizations. Because multiple nations participate in treaty organizations which provide a forum for engagement, our participation provides greater efficiency and effectiveness. Regulations and policies implemented by treaty often become legally-binding amongst member nations. Treaty organizations have come to play a very significant role in international political systems and global governance. As such, the EnerGeo Alliance continues to work through these organizations to ensure only science-based measures are implemented for the regulation of the energy geoscience industry.
