Ogilvy Government Relations has picked up federal lobbying duties for the American Exploration & Production Council for energy issues.
The D.C.-based trade association reps “independent” oil & gas producers defined as those companies without refining and retail marketing operations.
The 30-plus AXPC members control more than a quarter of U.S. oil reserves and produce nearly 30 percent of its natural gas.
AXPC includes Anadarko Petroleum, Occidental Oil & Gas, Chesapeake Energy, Apache Corp., Devon Energy, Marathon Oil, Newfield Exploration, Pioneer Natural Resources Co. and Noble Energy.
OGR CEO Drew Maloney, aide to former House Majority Whip Tom Delay (R-TX), leads the AXPC team.
He’s joined by Ryan Thompson, ex-chief of staff to Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK), and John O’Neill, policy director to former Senator Minority Whip Trent Lott.
