Paul Danos: Energy Industry is Innovating To Help Build Louisiana's Brighter Future
For over seven decades, our family-owned and operated energy services business has witnessed firsthand the significant contributions that Gulf of Mexico oil and gas production makes to our state's economy, workforce and energy security.
The federal government must develop a long-term program that continues to offer new offshore lease opportunities, not only for Louisiana but for the entire nation.
The Gulf of Mexico has long been recognized as a cornerstone of America's energy landscape, providing a reliable and abundant source of oil and natural gas. This region plays a pivotal role in meeting our nation's energy needs, supporting American jobs, driving economic growth and providing a path toward climate action.
Close to 100,000 Louisiana jobs and $8 billion in contributions to Louisiana's GDP depend on our industry. However, the economic benefits derived from this industry extend far beyond Louisiana. Gulf of Mexico oil and gas production fuels a diverse supply chain, creating employment opportunities for a wide range of industries, from manufacturing and construction to transportation and services. Every state has jobs and investments directly tied to the Gulf.
