Welcome to the National Stripper Well Association
Founded in 1934, NSWA is the only national association solely representing the interests of the nation’s smallest and most economically-vulnerable oil and natural gas wells before Congress, the Administration and the Federal bureaucracies. It is the belief of NSWA that producers, owners and operators of marginally-producing oil and gas wells have a unique set of needs and concerns regarding federal legislation and regulation.
NSWA has completed an updated, state-by-state report of current U.S. stripper well data
Why NSWA is for you
NSWA is the only national association SOLELY representing the interests of the nation’s smallest and most economically-vulnerable oil and natural gas wells before Congress, the Administration and the Federal bureaucracies.

Help NSWA Advocate for Very Small Operators
NSWA is asking small oil & gas businesses to complete a brief survey to help us advocate for a new “Very Small Operator” category with the U.S. Small Business Administration and Bureau of Land Management.
The SBA currently defines a small operator as a company with 1,250 employees or fewer, a threshold that does not accurately reflect the resources and regulatory challenges faced by many independent operators.
Your responses will help NSWA demonstrate the need for a more appropriate classification when agencies consider regulations such as lease bonding requirements, methane rules, and other regulatory changes.
Please take a few minutes to complete the survey and help strengthen our voice on behalf of very small operators.
