Letter from the President and CEO
We may live in uncertain times, but there is one thing we know for certain: the world needs more energy.
In Colorado, we are producing and delivering it cleaner, safer, and better than most anywhere on the planet. For more than 150 years, our industry has been a vital and vibrant part of Colorado’s way of life. Our goal at COGA is to ensure that our industry thrives well into the future. With the support of our membership, COGA promotes a stable and predictable regulatory and political environment for the entire oil and gas industry, which then boosts the economy and delivers reliable, affordable energy to our communities.
As the unified voice of the industry, COGA is the leading source of credible and fact-based information for elected leaders and staff, with a dedicated team that includes local and state regulatory oversight, legislative and political advocacy, community outreach, and education. Our work is essential, and we invite you to become a part of it.
Sincerely,

COGA President & CEO
