The Geological Survey of Alabama, established in 1848, provides service and information to Alabama and its citizens as a natural
resource data gathering and research agency. As part of its mission, GSA explores and evaluates the mineral, water, energy, biological, and
other natural resources of the State of Alabama and conducts basic and applied research in these fields.
Hearing Announcement
The hearings of the Board scheduled for Oct 26 & 28, 2021 will be heard in person/face-to-face at the Oil and Gas Board building in Tuscaloosa.
Attention K-12 Teachers!
Book available to Educators and Librarians!
The Geological Survey of Alabama, in partnership with Dr. Jim Lacefield and the Alabama Museum of Natural History, is offering a free copy of Dr. Lacefield’s book to schools and educators in Alabama. His book, entitled Lost Worlds in Alabama Rocks—A Guide to the State’s Ancient Life and Landscapes, is an excellent resource designed to give the reader a guided tour through Alabama’s diverse geologic history. Our mutual aim is to educate the public concerning Alabama and its resources, and one way to make this information more accessible to all is by offering Alabama schools a copy of Dr. Lacefield’s book.
2021 Hands-On Field Workshop
The Geological Survey of Alabama is co-sponsoring a one-day field workshop for in-service and pre-service science teachers to introduce them to earth-science topics and suggest ways to integrate this material into their teaching curriculum. The 2021 workshop will be hosted on October 12th 2021. Preregistration is required (Click here for the flyer!). If you would like more information about the event, please contact Dr. David Kopaska-Merkel davidkm@gsa.state.al.us.

The State Oil and Gas Board of Alabama is a regulatory agency of the State of Alabama with the statutory charge of preventing waste and promoting the conservation of oil and gas while ensuring the protection of both the environment and the correlative rights of owners. The Board is granted broad authority in Alabama oil and gas conservation statutes to promulgate and enforce rules and regulations to ensure the conservation and proper development of Alabama's petroleum resources.
The Board consists of three members appointed by the Governor of the State for a term of six years. The State Geologist serves as State Oil and Gas Supervisor and ex officio Secretary of the Board. The Supervisor is charged with the duty of enforcing all rules, regulations, and orders promulgated by the Board.
The official records of the agency are housed in the Board's main office in Tuscaloosa, and a regional office is located in Mobile. Search the Board's electronic databases or select a topic to obtain other information on Alabama's oil and gas resources and the activities and services of the Board.
