It is reasonable to expect that with these budget increases, there will be an uptick in the employment of petroleum professionals.

Natural Gas Helps Eliminate Energy Poverty
With a staggering 1 billion people on the planet without access to electricity and clean cooking fuels, natural gas is one key solution to help lift these people out of poverty and improve their quality of life.
