Natural Gas and Petroleum: The Importance of Impact Analysis to a $180 Billion Industry

Impact of Natural Gas and Petroleum on the United States Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

The U.S. Natural Gas and Petroleum Industry size is $180 Billion annually, with an average sector-growth of 3% achieved in 2018. Advances in oil extraction technology have positioned the U.S. to be the world’s largest supplier of Petroleum and remain as the world’s leading producer of natural gas. The industry supports over $1.3 Trillion annually to the U.S. economy, 8% of GDP, in wages, taxes, capital investments, and support to other sectors. The industry is expected to over $1 Trillion for infrastructure capital investments over the next fifteen years, which will continue to add to U.S. GDP, spurring economic growth to most U.S. industry sectors.

Natural Gas and Petroleum supply chain purchases and expenditures classified as two main groups, including upstream and downstream companies. Upstream companies focus on the exploration and production of oil and gas commodities. Downstream companies are involved with refinement, manufacturing, and distribution of finished products across multiple industries. Finished products include gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, heating oil, and energy-related chemicals. Other consumer products, essential to the U.S. economy, include medications, clothing, fertilizer, construction and automotive materials, medical equipment and plastics, infrastructure investments, and countless other items. Natural gas and oil prices impact companies in almost every sector beyond the oil industry. Increases or decreases in prices have ripple effects throughout the economy ranging between the cost of a plane ticket, food products, and a smartphone used to access the internet. Industries affected by oil and natural gas prices need to be part of a detailed market and industry analysis.
