Welcome to the Crude Oil Quality Association!

The Crude Oil Quality Association (COQA) is dedicated to the belief that maintaining the integrity and consistency of the refining characteristics of crude oil streams is of importance to all parties involved in crude oil activity, from production locations to the refinery.

To this end, we hold three meetings annually.  These meetings are open to the public and we welcome your attendance and involvement.

Upcoming Events

  • Fall COQA Meeting to be Held Remotely

    Dates: 21 – 22 Oct, 2020
    video-conference

    Considering the on-going uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, limitations regarding corporate travel, and our overarching concern for safety, the COQA Executive Board has decided to hold the October 2020 COQA meeting remotely, rather than meeting in Sugar Land, Texas as originally planned.

    Based on our June 2020 COQA meeting which was held online utilizing the Zoom platform with over 150 participants, we anticipate another successful meeting in October!

    Details regarding the program of events will be provided as soon as they are available.

    Our partners at the Opportunity Crudes Conference have rescheduled their conference for October 25-27th, 2021. COQA will again partner with them in 2021.
