Our Industry

Powering the Nation & Fueling Our Economy

The history of the oil and natural gas industry in Kansas is long and deep. As a top 10 producer of oil and natural gas, Kansas plays an important role on the national energy scene. The state of Kansas currently produces 73,504 barrels of oil and 347 million cubic feet of natural gas each day. Largely through the efforts of Kansas independent oil and gas producers, our industry provides the energy our nation needs while fueling our state economy — millions of dollars that fund schools, build roads and sustain thousands of jobs.
