Thanksgiving is a time that we all look forward to as an official kick-off for the American holiday experience. However, during the hustle and bustle of prepping the feast and getting the family together for the big day, do you ever really give thanks to the oil and gas industry for the way it improves your life?
Not to toot our own horns, but without NGL storage and other products we offer, it’s likely that your Thanksgiving holiday wouldn’t be the same. Here’s a look at how our industry helps keep your traditions moving every year.
Fuel Literally Brings Your Family to the Table!
Visiting family is part of the beauty of Thanksgiving. However, without the work of employees at onshore and offshore wellsite’s, the millions of passengers flying out and driving around to meet up for Thanksgiving dinner, wouldn’t make it to the feast.
Last year, over 390 million gallons of gas were used daily to keep the nation running. United States natural gas production facilities alone are able to produce enough oil and gas to get jets off the ground and wheels on the road.
Energy Makes the Turkey Tasty!
If you are like the other nearly 50 million people that look forward to a Thanksgiving turkey every year, the gas provided to get the oven roasting helps make the holiday happen! Sure, you could always fry the turkey, but for those of us that believe in the tradition of baking a basted turkey and favorite sides in the oven, the oil and gas industry is essential for bringing all of your favorite tastes to the dinner table.
The Energy Industry Helps Cranberry Production
Cranberry sauce is pretty essential to a Thanksgiving dinner, right? Well, since our national production facilities play such a big role in cranberry production, we have quite the biased opinion.
From fertilization, to irrigation, to the equipment that picks and delivers cranberries to distributors, we are partly responsible for the production of over 700 million pounds of cranberries every year!
Oil and Gas Gets the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade On Track
Although the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade won’t host millions of attendees in person this year, it will have millions of viewers eager to keep the tradition alive at home. So, our industry still needs to help provide the polyurethane that blows up the floats and gets the parade moving through the streets of New York City.
Oil and Gas Keeps Your Entertainment Flowing
After the Thanksgiving meal, families love to stay together and mingle. From relaxing in front of an evening fire, to talking around the coffee table with ambient lighting, the oil and gas industry pipeline systems are the engine that provides the energy to your Thanksgiving night an overall success.
