INDUSTRY ANALYSIS 1 External/Industry Analysis: Workforce Housing in the Oil and Gas Industry Steve McKeon Westminster College INDUSTRY ANALYSIS 2 Introduction The external analysis is designed to help companies identify specific trends and events that may have an impact on their business.

If one well requires over 100 workers, then over 25,000 workers will need temporary housing in West Texas where Eagle Ford oil is located.
