Texas, Oklahoma Said Top Two Most Attractive Places Worldwide for Oil, Natural Gas Investments

摘要

Nine of the world's top 10 places to invest in global oil and gas are in the United States, including eight states, according to the Fraser Institute's annual survey. The 12th annual Global Petroleum Survey by the Canadian-based research firm quizzed 256 petroleum industry executives and managers regarding barriers to investment in oil and gas exploration and production around the globe. Responses were tallied to rank provinces, states, countries and other geographical regions (e.g., offshore areas), according to the extent of such barriers.
