About Sander Resources.

Our Motto


Using innovation and information to influence policy, drive business, manage risk, and ensure compliance.

Our History


Since March 2005, Sander Resources has assisted clients within the pipeline and energy industry with communications, research, special projects, advocacy, and compliance.

Our clients—ranging from integrated and independent exploration and production companies, intra and interstate pipeline operators of all sizes and types, and industry associations as well as policy-based organizations—rely on our first-hand knowledge of the issues facing the pipeline and production industries, including various stakeholder groups, the impacts of recent incidents, pending projects, as well as state and federal regulatory initiatives.

We have assisted many companies with the development and execution of RP 1162 public awareness campaigns and related effectiveness evaluations, damage prevention programs, DOT regulatory compliance issues, risk analyses, and policy development processes at all levels of government.
