    Competitive Landscape Brief

    Demand is driven by economic activity, population growth, and energy efficiency for residential, industrial, and transportation uses of oil and gas. Profitability of individual companies is driven by the success rate of new wells drilled and the ability to increase production from existing wells. Large companies are advantaged by access to capital, including the ability to buy or merge smaller companies. Small companies compete by focusing on, and developing expertise in, a few geographic areas. The industry is capital-intensive: average annual revenue per employee is nearly $2 million. Oil and gas compete with other energy sources, such as coal, nuclear power, and hydroelectric power, for industrial and home heating applications. Renewable fuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel, and hybrid-electric cars, which use stored electricity from batteries instead of or in addition to gas or diesel, are emerging alternatives for transportation applications.
