Sourcewatch ("Your Guide to the Names Behind the News"), a project of the Center
for Media and Democracy, has a 'wiki' page on "Oil Patch Democrats"

It only said : "The term 'Oil Patch' Democrats refers to members of Congress
from states such as Texas and Louisiana where there is a well developed oil
industry."

So I created an account & edited it to add :

"The term also refers (usually without a space in 'OilPatch') to a Democratic
Party club primarily based in Houston Texas whose members are professionals in
the oil, gas & other energy-related industries. Their mission statement says
"The OilPatch Democrats seek to promote responsible conduct of business within
the energy industry for the common good of our country, particularly as it
applies to energy efficiency, conservation, human & worker's rights, the
environment & economy, domestic & foreign relations, national security &
corporate accountability. All of these issues are directly affected by our
nation's energy policy." The OPD has organized/sponsored/hosted/moderated an
Energy Caucus at the Texas Democratic Party State Conventions in 2004 and 2008.
Their primary activity is to educate Democratic Party politicians & candidates
for office in the issues of energy policy."

and added a link to our blogpage.

Maybe someone in the mainstream media will find out that we exist.
