Op-Ed: CO2 could help power Louisiana's future
What do a cold beer, a crawfish boil, and the fertilizer that keeps Louisiana's rice and soybeans thriving all have in common? They all rely on carbon dioxide. While CO2 is essential for many industries, excess emissions have posed economic challenges.
Why Louisiana energy expansion should matter to you
For more than a century, Louisiana has been an energy-rich state and a world leader in energy exploration, production and innovation. We have achieved this success thanks to our state’s abundant natural resources, highly skilled workforce unmatched anywhere else in the world and extensive network of pipelines that supply half of America’s refining capacity.

For more than a century, Louisiana has been an energy-rich state and a world leader in energy exploration, production and innovation.

Guest column: Pipeline lawsuits by Energy Transfer threaten property rights, Louisiana economy Original
For decades, the Louisiana Oil & Gas Association and Louisiana Landowners Association have worked to ensure the fair and productive use of Louisiana’s rich land and natural resources. We continue that work today by standing in opposition to lawsuits that threaten to diminish private property rights, destroy thousands of jobs, and significantly constrain the flow of natural gas to market.
ALERT: Caddo Parish in Need of Assistance
LOGA Members, Caddo Parish needs our help. Recent severe weather has left several thousand of Caddo citizens without electrical power. Unfortunately, some residents cannot have their power restored until they have the electrical meter and/or weather box repaired. Also, some residents will have to remove downed trees off of power lines in order to have power restored. Some citizens cannot afford these repairs and Caddo is unlikely to receive FEMA assistance.
Guest column: In defense of carbon capture Original
There has been lots of back and forth lately about carbon capture, usage and storage. Sadly, two parishes recently passed moratoriums on future carbon capture projects. In defense of these parishes’ decisions, carbon capture sounds like something new to them. They don’t believe the injection process is proven, don’t believe the parishes will be compensated and have been told that properties can be taken by eminent domain.
Energy industry: Lawyers want to bypass legitimate coastal preservation policies
Plaintiffs’ lawyers behind the coastal lawsuits are back at the State Capitol again this session. This time they are pushing legislation, SB233 by Sen. Rick Ward, R-Plaquemine, and HB569 by Rep. Tim Kerner, R-Jefferson, which seek to reconfigure Louisiana’s entire coastal program in order to settle meritless lawsuits with one defendant company. We strongly oppose the bills and hope lawmakers will too.
Op-Ed: Gov. Edwards should stand up for Louisiana oil, gas industry against Biden's energy policies
The last two weeks have put on display the things we take for granted. The permitting moratorium, the revocation of the Keystone Pipeline, then the outright leasing ban show that the Biden Administration does not fully grasp the critical, complex role oil and natural gas play in every moment of our day-to-day lives. Let’s start with the most obvious facet of life these bans jeopardize: energy security.
Letters: Just before a big election, Louisiana energy industry at a crossroads
It’s just before Election Day, and we find ourselves at a crossroads. It is impossible to overstate how much potential this current moment holds for Louisiana’s oil and gas industry, and how devastating the wrong decisions could be. Consider the three things on our industry’s doorstep that would each have far-reaching consequences: The presidential election. Two candidates have faced off who espouse wildly different views for our industry.
