California Independent Petroleum Association

D Three Technology, LLC is a member of the California Independent Petroleum Association, which is also known as CIPA. CIPA is a non-profit, non-partisan trade association representing approximately 450 independent crude oil and natural gas producers, royalty owners, and service and supply companies operating in California, of which D Three Technology is one.

CIPA was formed in 1976. CIPA’s creation was the result of a merger between two trade group associations; the Independent Oil & Gas Producers' Association merged with the California Independent Producers & Royalty Owners Association. Today CIPA is an association that has kept the political, regulatory and public policy interests of independent oil and gas producers at the forefront of its agenda.

CIPA states on its website at www.cipa.org that “CIPA represents the diverse interests of its membership before the California State Legislature, the United States Congress and numerous federal, state and local regulatory agencies. The association is an advocate of free market principles, eliminating duplicative regulation, stimulating recovery of domestic resources and improving the industry's public image.”

The CIPA website is a great resource for the oil and gas industry, particularly for those interested in the California market. The CIPA website contains up to date information on legislation that is of interest to the oil and gas industry, as well as oil and gas prices for California.
