Support activities for petroleum and natural gas extraction

NACE code 09.10 covers a critical set of support activities for the petroleum and natural gas extraction industry. This industry plays a vital role in the global energy landscape, providing the raw materials that power economies and fuel modern life. The support activities encompassed by this code are essential for the efficient and safe extraction of these valuable natural resources, which are in high demand worldwide.

The main production techniques used in this industry involve a range of specialized services and equipment. This includes activities such as the operation of oil and gas well drilling, the provision of drilling and well-capping services, and the management of well maintenance and repair operations. Professionals in this industry utilize advanced technologies and techniques to locate, access, and extract petroleum and natural gas deposits, often in challenging environments.

The support activities for petroleum and natural gas extraction rely on a variety of inputs, including specialized drilling equipment, well-servicing machinery, and a highly skilled workforce of engineers, technicians, and operators. Additionally, this industry requires access to the natural resources themselves, as well as the necessary infrastructure, such as pipelines and storage facilities, to transport and store the extracted materials.

The primary output of the support activities for petroleum and natural gas extraction is the successful and efficient extraction of these valuable energy resources. The extracted petroleum and natural gas are then typically consumed by other industries, such as 19.20 Manufacture of refined petroleum products and 35.11 Production of electricity, which further process and utilize these raw materials to generate a wide range of energy products and services.
