On this episode of The Gas Compression Podcast, host Michael Haning welcomes back Brent Haight, publisher of Gas Compression Magazine, for his second appearance on the show.

Gas Compression Magazine recently released the results from the annual state-of-the-industry poll, which received nearly 2,000 responses from people involved in the industry from all over the world. Michael and Brent dive into the details of each of the 14 questions to make sense of what is going on with the industry today, and what the future holds.

A hot topic in the industry today is environmental, social and governance (ESG). In the poll, 85% said they were either complying, embracing, or leading the way on ESG. A mere 7% said they are resisting.

One result that jumped out was that 69% of the respondents said that capital spending at their company will be the same or higher next year than it was this year — a much higher number than last year’s poll. Brent says, people in the industry are “an optimistic bunch.”

Brent points out that the poll was answered by all walks of life in the industry. That gives it a true insight over the entire industry.
