A Washington, DC-based nonprofit organization that has represented independent oil and gas interests for well over 80 years, the Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA) was born out of a meeting called by President Herbert Hoover to discuss the conservation of America’s dwindling natural petroleum resources. Upon gathering in Colorado Springs, Colorado, the nation’s oil operators, royalty owners, and land owners joined forces to form a new national group.

Known today as the IPAA, this organization continues to serve as a critical source of industry information, statistics, and economic analysis. The IPAA also lobbies on behalf of its members before the U.S. Congress and other influential federal agencies. IPAA members work tirelessly to spread the message that 95 percent of American oil and gas wells are currently owned by independent producers.

A private organization that operates in North America, the Better Business Bureau aims to assist consumers in the identification of companies that do or do not practice sound ethics. This is accomplished by a set of published reports on any and all companies that are members of the bureau, reporting any positive or negative activity on the part of the company in question. Positive reports can include charitable donations or work on the part of the company or records of financial responsibility. Negative reports generally come in the form of any number of past consumer complaints or claims against the company, including identity theft or fraudulent advertisement.

The Better Business Bureau has developed a vast library of videos dealing with a wide variety of business-related topics and has made these resources available to the general public through public libraries, where they can be freely accessed and referenced.
