The Permian Basin Petroleum Association (PBPA) is a fossil fuel industry association which has been "serving the oil & gas industry of West Texas & Southeastern New Mexico since 1961."

Founded by "a group of oilmen concerned about the federal government’s growing regulatory role," the PBPA now comprises more than 1,000 member companies.

It boasts on its website of an "outstanding track record for being the oldest and most active association in the region" which provides "access to policymakers" and influence in state (Austin/Santa Fe) and national (Washington D.C.) capitols as an advocate for Permian Basin fossil fuel extraction.

The PBPA claims to undertake "never-ending efforts to protect Permian Basin companies from potentially harmful legislative and regulatory actions"... "in an industry that is continuously assaulted by media, environmentalists, and government."[1][2]

PB Oil & Gas

PB Oil & Gas is the magazine of the PBPA, which it has published since 2006: <https://pboilandgasmagazine.com>

Greenwashing

Despite representing the interests of "exploration & production companies" and advocating for Permian Basin fossil fuel extraction, the PBPA claims it encourages producers to "focus on being good stewards of the environment"[3]
