In a twist even the experts didn't see coming, the United States leads the world not only in production and refining of natural gas and oil but in reduction of carbon emissions, which have reached 25-year lows due largely to greater use of clean natural gas. Our new ad, "Brainpower," spotlights the cutting-edge technology, and the innovative workers, who make it all possible. In every part of the process - exploration, production, transportation, refining - the U.S. natural gas and oil industry is using pioneering technology to make our operations more precise, efficient and safe than ever before. With the power of supercomputers, we can quickly analyze vast amounts of data and produce comprehensive, high-definition seismic images that help scientists and geologists pinpoint resources beneath the earth's surface. Once resources are located, horizontal drilling allows companies to complete the work of 20, or more, wells with just one -- reducing the surface footprint by 90 percent. From there, advanced fiber-optic cables, drones and robots feed information back to control centers that continuously analyze information from wells and pipelines to help predict or prevent issues in real time. Behind it all are the women and men of the industry - the engineers, analysts, scientists, and geologists who go to work each day and turn their brainpower into the horsepower that keeps America running. Keep an eye out for the ad to learn more about the technologies that help the U.S. natural gas and oil industry see through rock, print on steel, compute petrabytes and subtract carbon - all while delivering affordable, reliable energy. Sincerely, Jack N.
