AIPRO has served as the unified voice of Arkansas’s oil and natural gas community since 2007 and we are grateful to the companies, organizations, and individuals whose involvement and support have shaped the association and strengthened the industry over the years.

The 2025 Annual Report highlights the association’s work across a wide range of priorities—from regulatory and legislative efforts to political engagement, the annual meeting and education programs. Take a few moments to review the report and see how AIPRO worked throughout the year to advance members’ interests and promote a healthy business climate.

As the industry continues to face challenges, AIPRO and its programs provide an essential framework for supporting a strong and sustainable energy production community in Arkansas.
