OOGEEP Accepts Environmental Stewardship Award for Energy Education
Baltimore, MD – This week the Ohio Oil and Gas Energy Education Program (OOGEEP) traveled to the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission (IOGCC) Annual Conference where they accepted an award for their ‘Essential Ohio Energy’ campaign. The 2022 IOGCC Chair’s Stewardship Award for Energy Education recognizes organizations that have gone above and beyond the call to enhance our nation’s natural resources.
OOGEEP’s Essential Ohio Energy campaign is focused on showing that no matter where we live or where we work, Ohio-produced natural gas and oil is essential to our lives. Ohio is a leader in the natural gas and oil industry and this campaign shows people the integral part the industry plays in our everyday lives. The campaign has reached millions in Ohio as of this date.
The CHAIR’S STEWARDSHIP AWARDS represent the commission’s highest honor for those making efforts in environmental stewardship. Representing 38 states, the IOGCC is focused on conservation and efficient recovery and storage of domestic oil and gas resources.
