Industry Description
This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in (1) the exploration, development, and/or the production of natural gas from wells in which the hydrocarbons will initially flow or can be produced using normal or enhanced drilling and extraction techniques or (2) the recovery of liquid hydrocarbons from oil and gas field gases. Establishments primarily engaged in sulfur recovery from natural gas are included in this industry.
Excludes
Performing gas field services for operators on a contract or fee basis--are classified in Industry 21311, Support Activities for Mining;
The combined activities of crude petroleum and natural gas extraction--are classified in Industry Group 2111, Oil and Gas Extraction, based on the primary activity of the establishment;
Manufacturing acyclic and cyclic hydrocarbons from refined petroleum or converting refined petroleum into liquid hydrocarbons (i.e., petrochemicals)--are classified in Industry 325110, Petrochemical Manufacturing;
Refining crude petroleum into refined petroleum and liquid hydrocarbons--are classified in Industry 324110, Petroleum Refineries; and
Recovering helium from natural gas--are classified in Industry 325120, Industrial Gas Manufacturing.
