The Fraser Institute recently released its 2021 Canada-US Energy Sector Competitiveness Survey, and Oklahoma ranked in the top 10.

The annual survey of oil and gas executives asked 16 questions pertaining to factors known to affect investment decisions, then ranked U.S. states and Canadian provinces in terms of potential investment attractiveness.
