A diversified natural gas company whose filing states one full-time total and nothing by segment.
The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.
What follows from the reading
Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 33% now, 41% at the end of 2027, 43% at the end of 2028, 44% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 44% desk work, 15% people work and 42% body work. These are the site's industry estimates weighted by the shares below: estimates with a stated method and range, not a forecast of what the company will do. By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 48% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 44% becomes checking a model's work and 7% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.

Questions about this company
- How much of National Fuel Gas Company's working time is within reach of AI?
- An estimated 33% now and 43% by the end of 2028, on METR's long-run pace at four in five, from the workforce National Fuel Gas Company's own annual report describes and BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. It is an estimate with a stated method. It is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings, and it says nothing about what the company will do.
- How many people does National Fuel Gas Company employ?
- 2,322 as of September 30, 2025, as its annual report for the period ending September 30, 2025 states.
- What kinds of work make up National Fuel Gas Company's workforce?
- Read from its annual report as a blend of 3 industry staffing patterns, the largest Natural Gas Distribution; by those patterns the work is about 44% desk work, 15% people work and 42% body work. Each share has a one-sentence reason on this page that can be checked against the filing.
- What does National Fuel Gas Company's annual report say about AI?
- 2 sentences in the filing name AI. Its annual reports for fiscal 2021 to 2025 name it in 0, 0, 0, 1 and 2 sentences, year by year. They are counted and quoted on this page, never judged: a count says how much a filing talks about AI, not what the company does with it.
- How is this estimated?
- Claude Fable 5.2 read the annual report under the Index's written rubric (version 1) on November 11, 2026: the stated headcount, the share in the U.S. when stated, and the workforce as a blend of industry staffing patterns. The estimates are the site's industry estimates weighted by those shares, from O*NET tasks with estimated lengths and METR's measurements of how long a task AI models can finish. A company can write to info@stratussc.com to have its reading checked against its filing.
