CHARLESTON â West Virginiaâs two oil and natural gas associations have merged into one organization.
On Dec. 3, voting members of both the Independent Oil and Gas Association of West Virginia (IOGAWV) and West Virginia Oil and Natural Gas Association (WVONGA) voted to combine and become the Gas and Oil Association of WV (GO-WV).
âDiscussions were initiated back in mid-spring of this year regarding the advantages of merging two very strong organizations that consistently found themselves, over the past few years, being in agreement on virtually all regulatory, legislative and environmental matters,â said IOGAWV executive director Charlie Burd, who is now the executive director of GO-WV.
