From Healthcare to Highways, Oil and Gas Industry Powers Our Daily Life


As we navigate through our modern existence, it's crucial to recognize that the oil and gas industry doesn't just fuel our vehicles and heat our homes; it is foundational to the conveniences and necessities that define our lives.


Oil and natural gas are crucial to manufacturing a wide array of products that enhance and save lives. From personal care items like lipsticks and deodorants to critical medical devices such as MRI machines and pacemakers, oil and gas's footprint is extensive. Petroleum produces not just fuels but also plastics, lubricants, waxes, and asphalts that pave our roads.


Materials derived from petroleum products, such as nylon and polyester, make outdoor recreation possible. These materials are essential for producing everything from tents and camping gear to athletic apparel. Even the transportation methods we rely on daily, including the manufacturing of planes, trains, and automobiles, depend significantly on components made from or with oil and gas.


Look at childcare. Petroleum-based products include diapers and toys. 


We wouldn't have modern healthcare without the oil and gas industry, which uses petroleum to make hospital equipment (MRI machines) and everyday health aids like glasses, contact lenses, and prosthetics.


Our modern society would have difficulty existing without our oil and gas industry - we should be proud of our work.
