The American Petroleum Institute (API) is a trade association for the U.S. oil and gas sector, headquartered in Washington, D.C. It represents the breadth of America's natural gas and oil industry through a large membership of roughly six hundred companies that collectively produce, process, and distribute most of the nation's energy. The organization develops more than 800 safety, environmental, and efficiency standards and maintains a Climate Framework to guide industry practice. API's work targets producers, processors, and distributors, aiming to improve safety, environmental stewardship, and efficiency across operations. A notable development in 2026 is API's partnership with the Global Energy Center, reflecting continued collaboration with energy-policy and research groups.
