Oil and Gas

Unlike less mature industries, the chemical and gas industries are used to experiencing economic highs and lows. For chemicals, fluctuating energy prices, expansion into new markets, and acceleration of sustainability initiatives have created many unknowns. For gas, declines in petroleum demand pose many challenges.
