Facts on Earnings and the Marketplace
The oil and natural gas industry is one of the world's largest industries. Its revenues are large, as are the costs of providing consumers with the energy they need. Among those costs are finding and producing oil and natural gas, refining, distributing and marketing those refined products. The energy Americans consume today is brought to us by investments made years or even decades ago. Today's oil and natural gas industry earnings are invested in new technology, new production and environment and product quality improvements to meet tomorrow's energy needs. The industry's earnings are very much in line with other industries, and often they are lower. On this page you'll find the latest information and perspective on industry earnings, oil and natural gas markets including winter fuels outlook, gasoline and gasoline taxes, natural gas and LNG, considerations of current federal tax proposals that could affect the oil & natural gas industry, refining capacity and expansion plans, and the need for access to federal lands.
