The Big Picture

A Message from Our President On behalf of the members of the Texas Oil & Gas Association, we are pleased to release our annual Energy & Economic Impact Report, which affirms that American energy leadership starts in Texas.

2023 was such a blockbuster year that Texas effectively rewrote its oil and natural gas record book. Throughout the year, the Texas oil and natural gas industry clocked unmatched economic and energy achievements that translate into greater economic stability, personal safety, and energy security for our state, our nation, and our allies.

On the economic front, the Texas oil and natural gas industry paid a record $26.3 billion in state and local taxes and state royalties – the highest total in history – breaking last year’s record by more than $1.5 billion. This translates to an astonishing $72 million a day that directly funds our public schools, universities, roads, first responders and other essential services. These funds benefit every single Texan whether you live in the oil patch or not.

American energy leadership starts in Texas.

The record-breaking performance of the Texas oil and natural gas industry amounts to more than phenomenal statistical achievements. The natural resources, fuels and essential products produced here are saving lives, shaping communities, growing economies, and restoring stability. With so much uncertainty in the world, the need for reliable, responsibly produced energy from a stable trading partner has never been more crucial.

Texas is that trade partner. Our producers, pipelines, refineries, service companies, LNG facilities, and exporters are answering the call to alleviate a global energy crisis, made worse by war.

Growth like we’ve seen in Texas is not only unprecedented, it is not guaranteed. We cannot take for granted that this industry can continue to rewrite its record book in the face of policies blatantly designed to undermine progress.

At every level, we need policies that bolster America’s energy leadership and encourage increased domestic investment in the energy production and infrastructure an ever-growing world needs to build a cleaner, stronger, better future.

Fueling the Economy | 3

In 2023, Texas rewrote the oil and natural gas record book This type of unmatched, repeat economic performance does not happen by accident.

Success is the result of non-stop industry innovation, investment and operational efficiencies that shattered a string of oil and natural gas production, supply, refining and export records last year – all while achieving world-leading environmental progress.

Texas hit production records in six of 12 months in 2023, producing as much as 5.6 million barrels per day of crude oil in October 2023 – more than 42% of the nation’s total and the highest monthly oil production total ever.

New record-highs in natural gas marketed production occurred in seven of 12 months in 2023, and in October eclipsed 1.0 trillion cubic feet in a single month for the first time ever, accounting for nearly 30% of U.S. production.

Texas refineries processed a record 5.6 million barrels of crude oil per day in July 2023.

And as Texas produced and exported record amounts of natural gas liquids (NGLs) in 2023, refineries also utilized record amounts of NGLs. Texas also broke records for crude oil supply and crude oil and condensate exports.

This past year’s achievements define Texas oil and natural gas’ impact in ways never conceived just a few years ago, thanks to this industry’s commitment to innovation and technology and the famed Texas wildcatting spirit that continues to thrive in this new era.

Every direct job in the Texas oil and natural gas industry creates an additional two Texas jobs.

$124,158 Texas oil and natural gas employees

$70,738 Other Texas private sector employees

Texas oil and natural gas employers paid an average of $124,158 per job in 2023. Other private sectors averaged $70,738, roughly 43 percent less than what oil and natural gas companies paid their employees.

On a per-employee basis, the Texas oil and natural gas industry paid $55,000 in state and local taxes and state royalties in 2023.

This is almost 9 times higher than the other private sectors, which paid an average of just over $6,200 on a peremployee basis.

Per-job contributions matter because most state and local spending needs are driven by the size of the population.

In a system that relies so heavily on business to pay the cost of government, it is clear that the oil and natural gas industry more than pays its share in Texas.

FUELING PUBLIC EDUCATION The Texas oil and natural gas industry plays a significant role in funding public education in the state. Through a variety of taxes and royalties, the industry helps to provide much-needed funding for schools, teachers, and students.

This support serves as an important example of industry's contributions to the next generation of Texas leaders.

8 | Energy & Economic Impact Report 2023

Oil and natural gas royalties to state funds, particularly the Permanent University Fund and Permanent School Fund, widely support Texas public education. In FY 2023, each fund received over

$1.8 billion the second highest on record and more than double the amounts from FY 2021. In fact, 99% of the state’s oil and natural gas royalties were deposited into these funds.

FUELING THE RAINY DAY FUND Texans know that the oil and natural gas industry anchors our economy and directly funds our roads, schools, emergency services and our Rainy Day Fund.

This support is critical for our state, and ensures funding for our state and local governments.

12 | Energy & Economic Impact Report 2023

The Texas oil and natural gas industry is the primary funding source for the Economic Stabilization (“Rainy Day”) Fund, or ESF, contributing more than

$31.2 billion since the Fund’s inception in 1987. This amounts to 82 percent of the ESF revenue over time. Out of FY 2023’s production taxes paid, the ESF and the State Highway Fund (SHF) each received

$3.3 billion Legislators have appropriated funds from the ESF 114 times, the first of which was to fund public education in Texas. The sum of all appropriations totals

$18.2 billion Without the direct funding from taxes paid by the Texas oil and natural gas industry, support for retired teachers, disaster recovery, healthcare services, and numerous other priority items would not have received the substantial dollars allocated to meet essential needs.

the industry Texas oil and natural gas fuel modern life as we know it.

Beyond the hundreds of thousands of jobs the industry creates and billions in taxes it pays, oil and natural gas improve the economic and social progress of communities here and around the world.

96% of products we use every day like pharmaceuticals, electronics, cosmetics and clothing are all made from oil and natural gas.

There is no substitute for oil and natural gas for the products, fuels, and electricity that power modern life.

THE BIG PICTURE The United States is not only the world’s number one producer of oil and natural gas – led by Texas – we also lead the world in emission reductions and environmental progress. No one produces, transports, and refines oil and natural gas with the same commitment to safety and protecting the environment as American companies.

Yet, policies coming out of Washington continue to throw roadblocks in the way of world-leading environmental efforts and unmatched responsibility in oil and natural gas development. Delayed permits, canceled pipeline projects, closed or delayed federal leases, slowplaying state primacy for permitting carbon storage wells, and incoherent, inconsistent regulations discourage robust investments in energy and the environment.

Such ill-conceived policies hurt American consumers and stifle our ability to deliver energy freedom and security around the world.

Even as the #1 oil and natural gas state in the world’s leading energy nation, Texas has some challenges to address if we want to maintain our position as a global energy leader.

18 | Energy & Economic Impact Report 2023

Producers in the Permian Basin need infrastructure and more power generation as they electrify their operations. No other major industry must rely on generators for their electricity needs and neither should some of the most prolific oil producers in the world.

A growing Texas needs more pipelines and a cost-effective electrical power generation market that puts consumers’ needs first and incentivizes dispatchable power. We must prioritize transparency and accountability as the foundation of our electrical grid to continue attracting jobs and investment here.

Finally, we need policy that allows Texas to lead the emerging carbon capture and storage industry.

Manufacturers of all kinds, including Texas oil and natural gas producers, pipelines and refiners, are working to lower their emissions profile and Texas must demonstrate a commitment to advance this emerging industry because it benefits landowners and enables Texas businesses to remain competitive.

We know that policy can promote prosperity or hinder it. We look forward to working with our lawmakers to ensure that the American energy leadership that starts in Texas, stays in Texas.
