The bottom line

Only about 15% of Oil and Gas Extraction is information work today — the rest is physical, and moves slowly. The exposure is concentrated in the back office: the books, the paperwork, the scheduling, the marketing.

Why: Because no child elements were seeded, this score relies on the NAICS lens prior and the industry description. The description defines the core value-producing work as drilling wells, operating heavy machinery like emulsion breakers, and physically extracting petroleum and natural gas. These are fundamentally hands-on, field-based activities, placing the sector firmly in the physical band where AI is limited to orchestration.
