US oil and gas executives energized for the year ahead

摘要

A recent survey of US executives by the KPMG Global Energy Institute supports growing optimism in the domestic energy and manufacturing industries. Much of the renewed enthusiasm is strongly linked to increased production of domestic natural gas and crude oil resources; both are reshaping the energy industry and US economy. Energy independence, economic growth and the environment remain the top critical issues, according to the executives surveyed. Likewise, technology will also play a key role, as more companies utilize computing power to analyze enormous data files.
