FAQ Membership

Membership benefits are extended only to corporate members and their wholly owned subsidiaries. If you have a question about your company’s membership status, please contact us at membership@api.org.

API offers only corporate memberships, so a corporation must pay on all of its oil and gas operations or sales. In some instances, only a single division of a company is involved in the oil and natural gas industry, and in those cases, that division can be designated as the API member.

We can extend benefits to you as soon as we receive the funds via check, credit card or wire, and your membership will be officially activated the day the check or wire clears the bank.

No, API has over 500 members involved in all aspects of the oil and gas industry, so the vast majority of our members are non-integrated oil and gas companies, pipeline companies, marine companies and their suppliers.

Oil and natural gas company dues are volumetrically based, so it depends on the size of the company and its involvement in the API segments.
 
 
Pipeline dues are based on total pipeline throughput in barrel-miles of crude oil, refined petroleum products, and other hazardous liquids as defined in 49 CFR part 195 for all pipeline systems owned or operated by your company (including subsidiaries).
 
 
Dues for service and supply members are based on sales to the U.S. petroleum industry, beginning at $1,600.
