The oil industry is arguably one of the most important industries for Gaduridos, and especially for the working class. Not only is it that, but it's an industry which rakes in a lot of cash for the state. So it's no surprise that the de la Cruz administration has chosen to focus on modernizing the industry to make it more efficient and effective. As such, the state is taking a proactive role in investing into the modernization of Gaduri Oil Production, most especially the state owned Petróleos Gaduridanos (Pegad). 

As such, the first step is actually upgrading drilling rigs, such as rotary rigs, expanding surveying projects, and investing into more modern valves, pumps, and the like. Improving extraction is just as important as exploration to ensure stable oil production. Furthermore, the oil industry must be more than just drilling for oil. Refineries will need to be upgraded, particularly modular upgrades, such as catalytic cracking units. Alongside this, storage units must be expanded if production is to increase, and of course, safety measures such as fire suppression, leak detection and reinforcing containment measures. But modernizing an industry doesn't stop at just the industry itself. It's workers are just as important. Technical schools will need to be expanded and supported to ensure workers are adequately trained, as well as supporting labour unions within the oil industry to ensure workers are treated fairly in an industry that the country relies on.

The government will largely focus on handling the costs of modernizations, but what fee private interests exist in the Gaduri Oil Sector will also receive minor support in modernizations, mostly in the form of low interest loans from the State Bank of Gaduridos for equipment modernizations. Befitting a social democratic government however, the oil industry will largely remain state directed and state dominated. The goal is to ensure that not only does the state get more cash from efficient oil, but also ensure that workers in this industry are treated with respect.

His Majesty, Víctor de Valcorico recommends more parks in Ciudad de Gadur; City Council to take the suggestion into thought.

Is the PSSG a People's Party? Most likely due to its broad coalition.
