The National Petroleum Council (NPC) is a federally chartered advisory body established in 1946 to provide independent analyses and recommendations on matters related to oil and natural gas to the U.S. Secretary of Energy. Its membership spans producers, refiners, service companies, pipelines, energy technology providers, as well as academic, environmental, Tribal, and public-interest voices, reflecting a cross-section of the industry and related stakeholders. The council's work is strictly advisory, and it does not set policy or engage in lobbying; instead it delivers fact-based findings and insights to inform national energy policy discussions. Based in Washington, DC, NPC operates within the oil and gas sector, offering studies on topics defined by the Secretary of Energy, such as greenhouse gas emissions from the natural gas supply chain, hydrogen utilization, and transportation infrastructure for oil and natural gas. In recent years the NPC has undertaken analyses geared toward understanding supply resilience and infrastructure progression, contributing real-world industry perspectives to government decision-making.
