What the source says
The U.S. oil and natural gas industry invests roughly $150 billion every year in oil and natural gas upstream production alone — not including billions more invested annually in pipelines, refineries, export terminals and other critical infrastructure.
Checked: the figure 150 billion USD/yearis stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
