About Us

The Louisiana Gas Association is a nonprofit organization incorporated in the State of Louisiana known as the LGA.  It is comprised of investor and municipal-owned natural gas distribution companies, transmission companies, and master meter operators, along with associate members who produce or market natural gas and those who provide goods and services to the natural gas industry.

The LGA is composed of more than 125 gas distribution and transmission companies in Louisiana, including both municipal and investor-owned systems.  Association members serve more than ninety-five percent of the gas customers in the State of Louisiana.  In addition, there are over 80 associate member companies, more than 30 master meter operators and more than 125 individual members.

Become a Member

The member and the board of directors of the LGA cordially invite you to join our organization.  Louisiana's natural gas industry should be a strong force, but it takes numbers to be heard in the legislature.  We, therefore, need you and every gas operator in Louisiana to join.  There are many benefits, including:

  • Education and training
  • Public relations
  • A voice in legislation affecting your industry
  • Assistance with regulatory compliance

President's Message

As I sit on my back porch waiting for the weather to change with an oncoming cold front moving in, noting this cooler weather signals that fall is giving way to winter, bringing in one of the most anticipated times of the year, Christmas; I look to my vision of moving the Louisiana Gas Association (LGA) into its next exciting season. A lot of change has occurred from the LGA’s origins to where we are now and more change is inevitable; positive change, that is the best for us as an organization and individually as members. The way we adapt to this change will define our future, and I’m confident, with all the incredible members we have within the LGA, utilizing our talents, working together as a well-oiled machine, we can achieve and attain the pinnacle of success we are looking for to bring great prosperity to our organization.

The LGA through all its efforts contribute greatly to the economy of Louisiana, communicating and promoting the movement of the natural gas product from the earth which continues to be abundant, economic and environmentally friendly for many industrial, commercial and residential uses.

As I begin two years of services as your LGA president, I always think about and follow a personal mission thought, “Always do the best you can do every day” achieving extraordinary results through perseverance, hard work and collaboration. This could apply to everything we do on a daily basis. The thought has been around for many years and will continue to be around into the future. If we choose to follow it, there is no limit on what can be achieved. My 45 years of experience in the oil and gas industry has given me a sense of pride that our industry is essential to the nation. Therefore, promoting and communication our path often to the public, neighbors and friends and others like on college campuses, etc., is essential for those who may not recognize the value and benefits they receive from our wonderful industry. Please review my article in the LGA member spotlight back in the fall 2024 newsletter.Included are diagrams of product movement from inception to the end user and the value chain of those products to help with future conversations about our industry.

A former LGA President challenged the association members at that time to increase membership by 10%. Examining the trends from that time period, it appeared the organization did trend in a positive direction. I believe we should follow this same challenge for the next several years to make a bigger impact on our membership to continue offering the valuable programs we enjoy today.

I’d like to challenge you to reach out to your company personnel and people in our industry to become more active in the LGA through conferences, committee participation, and sponsorships. Together collectively we can deliver the value that is required of the LGA members.

I look forward to making and keeping lifelong friendships within our LGA family as the organization continues to evolve. Season’s Greetings Early.

In your service,

Nathan Gray, LGA President
