In 1997, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) reclassified
all U.S. industries under a new code – the North American
Industry Classification System, or NAICS. [OMB
1997] These classifications were used in the most recent Survey
of Manufactures conducted by the Department of Commerce, as well
as by other Federal agencies that collect data from industry. The
NAICS codes for the petroleum industry are listed below. The move
from SICs to NAICS resulted in some changes in the way industries
are categorized. For comparison of SIC versus NAICS categories,
selected SIC-based energy data is available online.
