Seleskya + 50 AS December 6, 2017 Every year, the Fraser Institute puts out a survey of oil industry execs, ranking the best place in the world for investment in E&P. This is the 11th year they've done it and Texas took the number one spot. The five best (which means most attractive for investment) were: Texas, UAE, Alberta, Kuwait, Egypt. http://www.gosanangelo.com/story/news/local/texas/2017/12/03/mills-texas-best-o-g-investment-survey-says/917748001/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
