National membership reached a high of over 2500 active members in 1992, and membership has remained steady despite the fluctuations experienced by the industry.
The AADE Houston Chapter membership for 1999/2000 was over 1600.
The AADE is an all volunteer organization made up of an affiliation of independent chapters licensed by the National Board.
The AADE has experienced continued growth in membership and reputation by focusing on its mission, vision and value statement
AADE offers a forum for the exchange of information, among its members and guests, specifically on drilling related topics. AADE chapters generally meet once a month where programs are presented by knowledgeable industry leaders in an informal luncheon or dinner environment.
AADE chapters also offer annual all-day forums to provide the opportunity for industry experts to present in depth coverage on current topics and latest technology.
AADE chapters publish a newsletter to keep members informed on activities and local drilling industry information.
