Join your fellow GO-WV members on Wednesday, March 26 for Oil and Gas Day at the Capitol. With its abundant resources and hardworking labor force, West Virginia has long been an energy state, exporting electricity across the nation – and beyond. We employ thousands of West Virginians and contributed more than $1.5 billion to the state’s economy in 2024. But many people remain unaware of the impact the oil and gas industry has on the Mountain State, including many state leaders and elected officials.

GO-WV wants to change that. By joining us for Oil and Gas Day at the Capitol, you can help us educate legislators and demonstrate the breadth of the energy industry in West Virginia and the depth of our impact.

Here’s how you can help:

• Host a company booth. This is an opportunity for you to inform elected officials about your company – your products, community outreach efforts, philanthropic giving, and more. Exhibits should be set up between 8 – 9 a.m. and will wrap up by 2 p.m. Booths are available on a first-come, first-served basis and spots are limited, so for more information or to secure a spot for your company display, complete and submit the form below.
• Attend the energy roundtable. Held in the Governor’s Cabinet and Conference Room at 11 a.m., industry leaders will provide a relevant discussion about the most critical energy issues facing West Virginia. Your presence will help create an audience for this event and demonstrate broad support for our industry.
• Join your fellow GO-WV members to observe the legislative session from the gallery. You can view the legislative session from the gallery of the House or Senate. Filling the galleries with our members helps elected officials see how many people throughout the state support oil and gas.

There is no charge to attend, but keep in mind that due to the session, available parking may be scarce around the Capitol. If you are unable to find on-the-street parking around the Capitol, there is a visitor lot located minutes away at Laidley Field. A shuttle will pick up visitors at the lot and drop them off directly in front of the Capitol building. This shuttle departs every 10-15 minutes.

Whether you are a producer, a logger, a well tender, an accountant or a royalty owner, our elected representatives need to understand how the energy industry fuels West Virginia. Join us and let your voice be heard.
