“ What no one tells you about the oilfield” 

Jamie and Massiel provide industry insight on this special episode, from their session at the Women’s Global Leadership Conference, held on Nov 3-6th.. They were asked to speak during the Stem Workshop, to help educate the younger generation on the oil industry. WGLC had a record turnout this year, with 6,500 attendees and 75 speakers from all over the world. 

The oil and gas industry is one of the largest sectors in the world in terms of dollar value, generating an estimated $3.3 trillion in revenue annually. Oil is crucial to the global economic framework, especially for its largest producers: the United States, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Canada and China.

In this episode you will discover:

  • What is a barrel of oil? 

  • The products made from one barrel of oil

    • Due to the wide variety of products made possible by oil and natural gas, the U.S. consumed approximately 7.3 billion barrels of petroleum in 2017.

  • How oil and gas helps saves lives 

  • Total household and North America Energy usage and sources 

  • How oil and gas companies support schools and education

    • Free Education at UT

    • 44 Billion Dollar Fund

Data shows that not enough students are pursuing STEM careers to meet the oil and natural gas industry’s workforce needs.  The industry will need to hire nearly 1.9 million oil and natural gas workers between 2015 and 2035. Expanding STEM education opportunities will be critical to keep the US competitive in an ever-changing world.
