For now, the U.S. is dependent on oil and natural gas for power.

Getting into the winter months means our dependence on natural gas will go higher from here.

The holidays mean more people traveling … thus more gasoline consumption.

Over the long term, we plan to drill for more oil and gas than ever before.

This chart shows the amount of oil and natural gas pulled out of the ground from shale and tight plays from 1999 to 2050.

Shale and tight oil plays are pulled from rock formations in the ground.

From 2000 to 2050, the amount of oil and gas pulled this way will increase by 1,802.3%.

Today’s Power Stock is an American operator of drilling rigs used to pull oil and gas from those rock formations: Ranger Energy Services Inc. (NYSE: RNGR).
