Couldn't one argue that the oil and gas industry is on the way out itself? I know that may come off as a bit naive. My anecdotal experience leads me to believe that the oil and gas industry isn't exactly pushing the envelope technologically. Sure there is a lot of cutting edge science and technology applied on a macro level, but for the industry to truly embrace the future would mean to become something entirely new.

I don't see this industry embracing the hyper connectivity, progressive, mind-share of the internet the same way I only see half-hearted engineers entering this field.
