Celebrating 50 years of unleashing American energy, the American Exploration & Production Council represents independent oil and natural gas producers.
From dependency —> dominance
50 years ago, the U.S. relied on foreign energy to power our economy. Today, thanks to innovations pioneered by America's independent producers, we’re the world’s top oil & natural gas producer.
Watch our story 👇
Onshore producers are on track to invest $250B+ in 2026 to power America's energy advantage.
For @Diamondback_EP, that means drilling over 500 wells a year just to maintain current production levels. CEO Kaes Van't Hof discusses the increasing focus to unlock well productivity and what it means for the industry's future.
AXPC applauds the House passage of @RepMikeKennedy's License to Drill Act. Reauthorizing the Permit Processing Improvement Fund keeps BLM staffed and permitting moving, which is critical to American energy production and affordability. We urge the Senate to move quickly to advance this critical piece of legislation.

America’s reduced reliance on energy imports is insulating the economy from the worst impacts of the global energy crisis.
@Diamonback Energy CEO @KVanthof joins Longer Laterals to explain how America's transformation into a net energy exporter, fueled by the Shale Revolution, acts as an economic tailwind during this historic energy disruption.

Then: 30 days to drill a 5,000-foot well
Now: Less than a week to drill a 15,000-foot well
This isn't a case of overnight success. It's a product of cumulative engineering breakthroughs and smart policy.
Watch @Diamondback_EP CEO @KVanthof explain why regulatory certainty is key to securing America’s energy leadership.

#MemberMonday Investing in education today is key to building the workforce of tomorrow — and Expand Energy is leading by example.
Through a long-standing partnership with Lackawanna College’s School of Petroleum & Natural Gas, Expand Energy is helping students gain real-world, hands-on experience that translates directly into meaningful careers. From equipment donations and classroom instruction to a strong internship pipeline, this collaboration is opening doors for students to enter the energy workforce with valuable skills, minimal debt and strong earning potential.
What makes this effort even more impactful? Expand Energy employees themselves are stepping into the classroom — with four team members teaching and sharing up-to-date knowledge on technology, safety and regulatory developments.
The results speak volumes: nearly 93% of PNG graduates are hired by major energy companies, and 10 alumni have already joined Expand Energy’s workforce.
When industry and education come together, opportunity grows — strengthening communities, supporting American energy and developing the next generation of talent.

NEW EPISODE: Behind America’s energy leadership is a story of technology, innovation, and constant improvement.
We sat down with @KVanthof, CEO of @Diamondback_EP, to talk shale, AI, global supply chaos, and why Midland, TX is having a moment.
Since the Shale Revolution began, U.S. natural gas production has doubled, helping transform the U.S. into the world’s leading LNG exporter. 🇺🇸
Our latest blog, drawing on research from UC Berkely, explores what that shift has meant for global energy markets, U.S. energy security, and consumers.

This record-setting lease sale demonstrates the pivotal role federal lands development will play to secure energy affordability. Thank you @DepSecMac and @Interior for taking action to restore confidence in federal lands management.
Today our Carlsbad lease sale was HOT🔥 - netting over $𝟰 𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗢𝗡 in high bids for less than 1% of BLM NM’s subsurface mineral estate! Thanks to @POTUS and @SecretaryBurgum, we have restored quarterly lease sales with half of this $$ going to New Mexico for schools, hospitals, public safety and other municipal needs.
FACT: In just one sale, we just 10X’d total receipts of every single onshore lease sales conducted in FOUR years under Biden.
🔧 Fixed THAT. 🔨
This all leads to:
⛽️More American energy
🏨Increased $$ for municipal infrastructure
👨🏭More American jobs and economic growth
💰 BILLIONS in future royalties
🌵Investment into conservation efforts

Today’s record-setting lease sale reflects restored confidence in federal lands management, and it’s thanks to @POTUS's energy dominance agenda.

Shale gas saved American consumers over $200 billion annually since 2007, according to a new working paper from UC Berkeley’s Energy Institute.

Indeed. The surface deal takes a small but meaningful step toward constraining the scope of the NHPA. Much more to do including reforming the listing regime & judicial review.
AXPC commends the Senate for confirming Kyle Haustveit as Under Secretary of @Energy.
As a third-generation energy worker, he understands firsthand how American innovation and domestic production fuel economic growth and strengthen national security. We look forward to continuing to work with him to advance policies that deliver affordable, reliable energy for every American.
Congratulations to Steve Pearce, newly confirmed Director of @BLMNational.
We look forward to partnering with him to increase permitting efficiencies and achieve a durable regulatory environment that delivers lasting benefits for the American people.
#MemberMonday@EQTCorp, a company committed to strengthening the communities where they live and work, came together this week for Qrew Day, a collective effort to give back and make a meaningful impact. With 285 employees volunteering a total of 1,028 hours, their Qrew showed up with energy, heart and purpose.
Through hands-on volunteer projects and partnerships with local organizations, these efforts not only supported important community initiatives but also reinforced their commitment to our 1% Pledge and company-wide volunteer goals.
Exploiting statutory ambiguity to arbitrarily halt LNG exports hurts American energy workers and our economy.
@JohnCornyn and @SenFettermanPA’s LNG Export Security Act delivers regulatory certainty for America’s natural gas producers to plan, invest, and operate without fear of political interference.

Reauthorizing the Permit Processing Improvement Fund will help ensure the U.S. can continue producing reliable, secure energy on federal lands while supporting jobs, investment, and responsible development.
We appreciate @RepMikeKennedy’s leadership in advancing the License to Drill Act before this critical program expires later this year.
AXPC applauds @SecretaryBurgum for restoring balanced management of federal lands by rescinding the 2024 Conservation and Landscape Health Rule.
