What is oil and gas industry?
Oil and gas provide the world's 6.9 billion people with 60 percent of their daily energy needs. The other 40 percent comes from coal, nuclear and hydroelectric power, "renewables" like wind, solar and tidal power, and biomass products such as firewood.
As fuels, they keep us warm in cold weather and cool in hot weather; they cook our food and heat our water; they generate our electricity and power our appliances; and they take us by car, bus, train, ship or plane to places near and distant. We all feel the economic pinch when the prices of gasoline, home heating fuel or electricity increase sharply, even though in many developed countries, they still cost less than some brands of bottled water.
As petrochemical feedstock’s, oil and gas are the raw materials used to manufacture fertilizers, fabrics, synthetic rubber and the plastics that go into almost everything we use these days, from toys to personal and household items to heavy-duty industrial goods.
The oil and gas industry, commonly called the petroleum industry includes the global processes of exploration, extraction, refining, transporting (often by oil tankers and pipelines), and marketing petroleum products. The largest volume products of the industry are
