API Colorado and its member companies are committed to ensuring a strong, viable natural gas and industry capable of meeting the energy needs of Colorado.
Why have U.S. natural gas prices remained so stable despite global market volatility?
In this Energy Minute, API's Rob Jennings explains how historic innovations in the U.S. oil and gas industry unlocked record-breaking domestic production and drove down energy prices for American consumers.
Colorado’s energy debate did not disappear in 2026. It evolved. From Carly West at @API_Colorado : Quiet at the state Capitol doesn't mean silence on energy policy | GUEST COLUMN https://t.co/KGcpFEiZvk
In a new op-ed for @colo_politics, API CO Executive Director Carly West reflects on the 2026 session, ongoing regulatory activity, and the importance of affordability, reliability, and implementation as Colorado continues shaping its energy future:

“In this country, we're blessed with a bounty of natural gas.”
API President & CEO @mj_sommers joined @scotthennen on @WOYMRadio to discuss how abundant U.S. natural gas will help meet rising energy demand and why federal permitting reform is so important.
How is today's global energy crisis different from previous supply disruptions, like the 1973 Arab oil embargo? One big difference is the scale of U.S. oil and gas production.
Energy 101: What’s the difference between gasoline, diesel and jet fuel?
API’s @T_Mason_H breaks down how these fuels power everything from our daily commutes to the heavy equipment moving entire supply chains.
American energy production helps insulate consumers from the worst of this global supply shock, but infrastructure determines whether that energy can actually reach them.
@mj_sommers joined @AmericaRpts to discuss why supply, pipelines and refining capacity all matter for prices.
“Baseload power is going to continue to come from natural gas. So we have to find a way to move it from where it is to where it needs to be.”
API President & CEO @mj_sommers joined @theDChuddle to discuss why natural gas is essential for a reliable and resilient American energy grid
The United States is the world’s largest natural gas producer. In 2024, production averaged 113.5 billion cubic feet per day, helping meet demand for reliable, affordable energy.
“… We are helping meet the demands of the world. And so I think the US energy industry is standing tall during this moment of need.” — @Chevron CEO Mike Wirth on @MorningsMaria
“Gasoline prices are a function of the price of crude oil. So if you have an elevated price of crude oil, you're going to have elevated gasoline prices.”
API President & CEO @mj_sommers joined @AmericaNewsroom this morning.
The need for accurate information on U.S. energy has rarely been greater. That’s why we’ve launched the American Energy Snapshot dashboard, featuring key indicators on U.S. production and trade of crude oil, natural gas and liquid fuels.
API is proud to recognize the recipients of the 2025 API Distinguished Pipeline Safety Awards — honoring pipeline operators that exemplify the industry’s highest standards for safe, reliable operations and community engagement.
Congratulations!

“Not all crude oil is the same.” API’s @T_Mason_H joined Spectrum News @NY1 to talk U.S. crude oil imports and exports — and why access to the global market is important for domestic production and U.S. refineries.
Regulatory uncertainty drives up costs, delays projects, and ultimately hits Colorado families and businesses. Certainty in the permitting process is key to delivering affordable, reliable energy.

"We're about to go into the highest demand period... Memorial Day weekend is usually when we really start peaking in terms of increased need for these products."
API’s Mike Sommers joined @Varneyco to discuss the upcoming summer travel season and the current market disruption.
Thank you to @Chevron for inviting COGA, @API_Colorado, and @CREDorg to join their @ChevronColorado Advocacy Network in Greeley for a fireside chat on Colorado’s 2026 political landscape. We had a great discussion around the ongoing legislative session, emerging ballot measures, and how this year’s election dynamics will help shape Colorado’s energy future.
We’re grateful for the partnership and engagement of industry advocates who continue to champion responsible energy development across our state.
U.S. LNG is helping to stabilize global markets. As API’s Rob Jennings explains, the U.S. is the world’s top exporter, supplying roughly a quarter of global demand. Natural gas powers homes, generates electricity and even helps make fertilizer, playing a vital role in global energy systems.
