MMR President/CEO Pepper Rutland Featured in Baton Rouge Business Report
October 8, 2015

James Pepper Rutland, At MMR, we believe the oil market will remain volatile through 2016 and cheap natural gas will remain plentiful for the next few years. Cheap gas continues to stimulate investment in the chemical and plastics industries
where it serves as a feedstock, while the low oil pricing will continue to impact negatively the upstream market and some midstream markets. Overall, high oil prices and low natural gas prices was the perfect scenario for massive industrial investments. We
