Natural growth: Natural gas is set for a boom as oil maintains its volatile trajectory

Oil Drilling & Gas Extraction in the US

Bubblin' crude

Currently, industry firms are acquiring natural gas wells in the expectation that natural gas prices will rise to meet demand from electricity generators and other downstream customers. During the next five years, industry performance will gain ground in response to rising oil and gas prices and higher levels of output. Increasing oil and gas prices are projected to occur on the back of sustained global economic growth as emerging economies grow rapidly and developing countries expand.

Firms in this industry operate and develop oil and gas field properties. Activities include the exploration and production of crude petroleum; the mining

and extraction of oil from oil shale and oil sands; the exploration and production of natural gas; sulfur recovery from natural gas; and recovery of hydrocarbon liquids. Firms may operate oil and gas wells on their own account or for others on a contract or fee basis.
