About API and Our Chapter

API Chapters work to promote fellowship and professional development through the exchange of industry experience and the utilization of industry-related meeting programs among members.  In addition, API Chapters support their local communities by sponsoring a number of civic-minded events each year.  To that effect, API Kansas offers several scholarship opportunities and also organizes community outreach projects designed to benefit those working in the oil & gas industry as well as benefitting the region as a whole.  

 

At this time, there are more than 30 active API chapters with 9,412 members in 12 states. Most chapters meet monthly or quarterly.**

Membership

 

Membership is open to any person residing in Kansas engaged in the petroleum or a related industry.
