About AADE

The American Association of Drilling Engineers (AADE) is a non‐profit (IRS 501‐6C), volunteer organization founded in NewOrleans in 1978 and is made up of an affiliation of independentchapters licensed and governed by a National Board.

Formation of the AADE was based on the fact that no existingdrilling industry organization was consistently providing technicalexchange specifically for Drilling Engineers.

The early success and acceptance of this effort led to theexpansion of AADE. Eleven chapters are now active in NewOrleans, Lafayette, Houston, Dallas‐Fort Worth, Midland(Permian Basin), Oklahoma City‐Tulsa (Mid‐continent), Denver,Bakersfield (West Coast), Anchorage, Coraopolis, PA(Appalachian Basin) and Central Texas (San Antonio).

National membership is nearing 6,000 active members, and hasremained steady despite the fluctuations experienced by theindustry.

The AADE has experienced continued growth in membership andreputation by focusing on its mission, vision and valuestatement.

AADE offers a forum for the exchange of information, among itsmembers and guests, specifically on drilling related topics. AADEchapters generally meet once a month where programs arepresented by knowledgeable industry leaders in an informalluncheon or dinner environment.

AADE chapters also offer all‐day forums as well as annual multi‐day technical conferences to provide the opportunity for industryexperts to present in‐depth coverage on current topics and latesttechnology.

AADE chapters publish a newsletter and/or maintain a web page(www.aade.org) to keep members informed on activities andlocal drilling industry information.

Mission: To provide the forum for the dissemination of practicaldrilling technology to those employed or interested in thedrilling industry.

Vision: To be a leading forum for the dissemination andinterchange of drilling practices and technology.
