Mission Statement
The Mission of the Oil and Gas Research Council is to promote the growth of the
oil and gas industry through research and education.
North Dakota's Oil and Gas Research Program (OGRP), established by the Legislature
in 2003, is a state/industry program designed to demonstrate to the general public
the importance of the state oil and gas exploration and production industry, to
encourage and promote the wise and efficient use of energy, to promote environmentally
sound exploration and production methods and technologies, to develop the state's
oil and gas resources, and to support research and educational activities concerning
the oil and natural gas exploration and production industry. The Program is funded
from the state's share of the oil and gas production tax and oil extraction tax.
Two percent of the state's share of the oil and gas gross production tax and oil
extraction tax revenues, up to $10 million, is available to the OGRP each biennium.
