ADDC: Our History

Since the first meeting in 1949, the Association of Desk and Derrick Clubs (ADDC) has ebbed and flowed with the tides of the energy and allied industries. Closely paralleling the fortunes of the petroleum industry of which it is a vital part, ADDC has grown in stature and value as it strives to adapt to the changing times. ADDC has continuously broadened educational opportunities for members and the general public. However, membership numbers have dropped—reflecting the current economy—and are strongly impacted by downsizing. Currently about 1,300 women and men employed in or affiliated with the energy and allied industries make up the 48 clubs within 4 regions throughout the United States and Canada.

Thousands of hours of education have been provided for members through monthly programs on the many facets of this industry, given by speakers ranging from company CEOs to oil-well-fire fighters. Field trips to offshore drilling rigs, refineries, and geological sites illustrate the meaning of the organization’s original name: Desk and Derrick. In addition, field trips to manufacturing plants and nuclear facilities have been made available. Special study courses, seminars, and workshops provide opportunities for members and interested parties to keep pace with the changes and technical advances taking place in the industry today. Topics range from the fundamentals of petroleum—containing subjects from finding the prospect to marketing the products—to governmental regulations. Additional educational opportunities include personal training seminars through the ADDC Leadership Resources Committee. Additional personal growth opportunities include ADDC conventions, regional meetings, town hall meetings, President’s training/meetings, Board meetings, committee meetings, orientations, installations and many more. Nine members have earned a certificate of completion for the ADDC Certification Program, completing the six courses (Geology, Land and Leasing, Drilling, Completions and Production, Accounting, and Marketing).

ADDC Insight is the official monthly publication of the Association of Desk and Derrick Clubs. ADDC Insight is a direct link between club members and the Association. This newsletter-style publication is published twelve times per year, is distributed to each member, and is available online.

The Desk and Derrick Journal (originally called The Oil and Gal Journal)—was a publication of the ADDC—was a direct link between club members and the Association, was a magazine-style publication, was published multiple times per year, and was distributed to each member.

The Association established and maintains an office in Oklahoma. The Association also has the Association Distribution Office (ADO) in West Virginia, where member clubs can order manuals, forms, books, videos, films and slide presentations. The ADO also provides general ADDC information and guidelines for club operations, program planning, and seminars.

Through PennWell Corporation, ADDC members provide updates to the D&D Standard Oil & Gas Abbreviator, which was originally authored by ADDC members. ADDC members have been instrumental in sponsoring and developing the Fundamentals of Petroleum, Land and Leasing, and Practical Petroleum Geology educational textbooks in conjunction with the University of Texas at Austin Petroleum Extension Service (PETEX). These textbooks have enhanced the contributions made by the organization to its industry.

The ADDC Educational Trust, was established to give financial assistance to individuals pursuing college degrees in subjects related to the petroleum, energy, and allied industries. Scholarships are awarded to eligible students attending accredited colleges on a full-time basis. Scholarships are also available to members of ADDC pursuing advanced college instruction. The Educational Trust has awarded over $300,000 in scholarships since its inception in 1982. The Paula Mace and Frances Hidell scholarships have recently been added to the awards available for qualified students.

The ADDC Foundation was established to assist the Association, its members and others working in the petroleum, energy, and allied industries to publish or produce educational materials, to conduct research, and to hold seminars and classes. The Foundation has sponsored and moderated the Energy Symposium at numerous ADDC conventions and supports activities of many educational programs.

Both The Educational Trust and the ADDC Foundation qualify as tax-exempt organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

GREATER KNOWLEDGE — GREATER SERVICE was chosen as the motto in 1957 and continues to provide motivation to continue on the roads to education.
