At NOV, we enable access to the oil, gas, and renewable energies that make progress possible by providing energy industry participants the necessary technology and expertise to develop and produce those resources efficiently. As the world embraces both alternative and secure sources of energy supply, we will continue to support our customers’ efforts to develop affordable and reliable, secure energy. We are committed to facilitating a path to a lower-carbon future by improving the economic returns of renewables yet recognize the pivotal role of oil and gas to life in the 21st century. Today, oil and gas is the industry that powers all other industries, from construction to trans- portation to petrochemicals to pharmaceuticals to consumer goods to you-name-it. Its absence would threaten our modern way of life. Yet, society’s efforts to pivot away from fossil fuels have starved this critical industry of capital, talent, and infrastructure. Unfavorable market conditions exacerbated these challenges, as companies were forced to reduce investments and highly experienced, well-qualified people left the industry during an historic downturn. Today, amidst an emerging energy crisis, the world finds itself in urgent need of secure, reliable supplies of oil and gas. Reconstructing a marginalized industry long deprived of resources will not be easy; it is incredibly capital-intensive and requires highly specialized experts, products, and processes. Fortunately, the oilfield is nothing if not resourceful and resilient, and we are here to support its return.
