How We Invest
Through the creation of Kansas Strong, we’ve pledged our commitment to helping citizens learn about, and understand, the importance of oil and natural gas in their daily lives. We’re reaching out through traditional means as well as through ever-evolving web technology to provide information and education for citizens of our state. Every year, we host Teacher Workshops for hundreds of Kansas teachers who impact thousands of students across the state. We also provide tens of thousands of dollars each year to schools for supplies, field trips, STEM events and support for teachers in classrooms. To date, we have given away over $2 million in resources, funding and support directly to teachers.
Public Notice
In accordance with the Kansas Petroleum Education & Marketing Act, the Kansas Oil & Gas Resources Board does hereby promulgate the refund opportunity for assessments levied on gross revenues of oil and gas produced in Kansas within the last calendar year. The refund opportunity is for working interest owners who do not wish to participate in the industry-funded energy education effort. Refund requests must be made during the first quarter of the calendar year following the assessment year on properly executed refund application forms.
