EY Oil and Gas US Perceptions Study

"A seismic cultural shift is under way that will make it increasingly difficult for oil and gas companies to attract and retain knowledgeable, highly skilled workers — undermining the industry’s ability to succeed in a rapidly changing world.

This shift is driven by the attitudes and perceptions of younger generations — some already in the workforce, others rapidly approaching that day — toward the industry and its impact on both the environment and society in general.

EY conducted an extensive nationwide consumer survey that provides an in-depth look at how Americans view oil and gas and the companies that produce them. The survey targeted people of all ages, including 16- to 19-year-old members of Generation Z, and millennials between the approximate ages of 20 and 35."

The EY Oil and Gas US Perceptions Study was developed by subject-matter resources within EY member firms in the US Oil & Gas practice. In developing the survey, EY sought to unearth new and valuable insights not available through any other existing research.
