Oil Companies Cut Millions in Wrong Places as Clean Energy Reshapes Industry

Texas Consultancy Develops AI to Address Project Challenges in the U.S. Energy Sector

Austin, Texas – The Texas Independent Producers & Royalty Owners Association (TIPRO) today released the ninth edition of its “State of Energy Report,” offering a detailed analysis of national and state trends in oil and natural gas employment, wages and other key economic factors for ​the energy industry in 2023. TIPRO’s “State of Energy Report” series was developed to quantify and track the economic impact of the domestic oil and natural gas sector with an emphasis on the state of Texas.

“Despite facing a number of unique challenges, including geopolitical conflicts and an adversarial federal policy environment, the U.S. oil and gas industry continued to offer significant economic support in 2023, while providing reliable and affordable energy to meet growing domestic and global demand,” said Jud Walker, chairman of TIPRO and president and CEO of EnerVest, Ltd. “TIPRO’s comprehensive annual analysis illustrates the immense contributions provided by the Texas oil and natural gas industry from an economic and national security perspective,” added Walker.

According to TIPRO, the industry supported a total of 2 million direct jobs in the U.S. last year, with total direct and indirect jobs tied to the industry exceeding 24 million. The U.S. oil and natural gas sector paid a national annual wage averaging $79,417 and had a combined payroll of $162 billion. Direct Gross Regional Product (GRP) also surpassed $1 trillion in 2023. Additionally, total U.S. goods and services purchased in 2023 by the oil and natural gas industry exceeded $882 billion from over 900 business sectors, notes TIPRO.

In Texas, the oil and gas industry once again led the nation in industry employment last year, accounting for 23 percent of all oil and gas jobs in the nation, as outlined in the association’s new report. The industry supported a total of 471,631 direct jobs in Texas in 2023, with total direct and indirect employment of 2.9 million. Direct GRP for Texas oil and gas equaled an estimated $364 billion in 2023. Total U.S. goods and services purchased by the Texas oil and natural gas industry reached $288 billion last year, 83 percent of which came from Texas businesses, benefiting virtually every business sector in the state.

The Lone Star State again was the nation’s top oil producer, supplying a record 1.99 billion barrels of oil to energy markets in 2023. TIPRO reports that Texas also broke a new record in natural gas output with over 12.2 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of gas produced. Texas production is helping to change the world by providing access to this foundational, low-carbon fuel source. Last year saw a record-breaking number of exports, with large volumes expected to continue as additional terminals come online and demand for the fuel remains high amid geopolitical tensions.

U.S. crude production, including condensate, averaged 12.9 million barrels per day (b/d), breaking the previous U.S. and global production record of 12.2 million (b/d). Monthly production established a new record, hitting an all-time high in December with more than 13.3 million b/d. U.S. natural gas production averaged a record 104 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) last year, a 4% increase from the 2022 annual average.

“The Texas oil and natural gas industry remains a cornerstone of the Texas and U.S. economy, and a critical source of energy security for our country and allies abroad,” said Ed Longanecker, president of TIPRO. “We applaud the immense contributions provided by the Texas oil and natural gas industry and the policymakers that understand its importance,” added Longanecker.
