OVERVIEW
4. • High Profit Potential: The oil and gas industry offers huge profit
margins because of the increasing demand for energy and limited
reserves
• Advanced technologies: The industry uses the latest technology
to find and extract oil and gas more efficiently.
• Large and diverse market: Oil and gas companies have access to a
huge customer base, including industrial, commercial, and
residential sectors.
• Established infrastructure: The industry has well-established
transportation and distribution networks to move resources from
production sites to consumers.
5. • Unstable Oil Prices: The price of oil and gas goes up and down a lot
because of things like politics, money changes, and how much
people want it.
• High operating costs: Exploration and production require high
initial investments in equipment, personnel, and regulatory
compliance, making the operational costs of oil and gas
businesses quite high.
• Harm to the Environment: Getting oil and gas can hurt the
environment like the land, air, and water, and it has many risks for
nature.
• Slow Progress: Finding and getting oil and gas is complicated and takes a
long time – sometimes many years – to start producing from one place.
6. OPPORTUNITIES
• Exploration and Production Opportunities: As the most common
business model for oil and gas companies in the US, there is
always room for new players to enter the market and find
untapped resources.
• Alternative Energy Diversification: Oil and gas companies have a
chance to diversify by investing in renewable energy
technologies, aligning with the global shift toward cleaner
energy sources.
• Global Energy Demand: Oil and gas are still the primary energy
sources for the majority of the world's population, creating a
lucrative market for companies that can sustain a steady supply
and stay competitive.
7. • Price Volatility: Oil prices can be unpredictable due to global
events like political unrest, changes in demand, and supply
disruptions.
• Renewable Energy Competition: As renewable energy becomes
more cost-competitive, it may displace traditional fossil fuels as
the preferred energy source.
• Regulatory Challenges: Governments are increasingly focused on
reducing emissions and promoting renewables. New regulations
and taxes may raise operating costs, challenging the profitability of
oil and gas firms
• Rising production costs: Finding new resources often requires
exploration in remote and challenging areas, leading to higher
production expenses. This can squeeze profit margins and raise
operational risks..
