Tight oil remains the leading source of future U.S. crude oil production (02/22/2018)
EIA's recently released Annual Energy Outlook 2018 (AEO2018) Reference case projects that U.S. tight oil production will generally increase through the early 2040s, when it will surpass 8.2 million barrels per day (b/d) and account for nearly 70% of total U.S. production. Tight oil production made up 54% of the U.S total in 2017

Planned Refinery Outages in the United States: December 2017 - June 2018 (02/22/2018)
In this report, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) examines U.S. refinery outages planned for December 2017 through June 2018 and the implications for available refinery production capacity, petroleum product markets, and the supply of gasoline, diesel fuel, and jet fuel. EIA’s dissemination of this analysis is intended to benefit market participants who may otherwise be unable to access such information. The U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (EIA’s) latest analysis of planned refinery outages for the period from December 2017 through June 2018 finds that such outages are not expected to cause a shortfall in the supply of petroleum products including gasoline, jet fuel, and distillate fuel relative to expected demand, either nationally or within any U.S. region.

Recent legislation mandates additional sales of U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve crude oil (02/21/2018)
Recent legislation has directed the sale of more than 100 million barrels of oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) in U.S. government fiscal years (FY) 2022 through 2027. Based on legislated sales established in multiple acts of Congress, the SPR could decline by about 40% in the coming decade while still meeting requirements for petroleum import coverage.

U.S. ethane consumption, exports to increase as new petrochemical plants come online (02/20/2018)
Over the next two years, EIA’s Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO) projects growth in U.S. consumption of ethane in the petrochemical industry will exceed increases in consumption of all other petroleum and liquid products such as motor gasoline, distillate, and jet fuel combined.

The Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey (MECS) final set of tables (02/20/2018)
The third and final release of 2014 MECS tables is now available. The new tables include establishment counts corresponding to already-published energy consumption quantities; expanded counts of establishments participating in energy-management programs; counts of establishments with certain cogeneration and other general technologies; floorspace and number of buildings; and counts of fuel-switching including the price difference necessary to induce a switch to another energy source.

U.S. coal production, exports, and prices increased in 2017 (02/16/2018)
EIA expects total 2017 U.S. coal production to be 773 million short tons (MMst), 45 MMst higher than in 2016 and the largest year-over-year tonnage increase since 2001. Coal prices across the United States rose as well, especially for Central Appalachian coal.

U.S. proved reserves of natural gas up in 2016, oil reserves remained unchanged (02/15/2018)
The United States had 341.1 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of natural gas proved reserves as of the end of 2016, an increase of 5% from 2015, according to EIA’s recently released U.S. Crude Oil and Natural Gas Proved Reserves report. U.S. crude oil and lease condensate proved reserves remained virtually unchanged from their 2015 level, at 35.2 billion barrels.

Capital investment in upstream oil and natural gas industries (02/15/2018)
The International Energy Outlook 2017 anticipates a large increase in oil and natural gas production with many large, capital-intensive projects that will come online after 2025 to meet rising demand. This Issues in Focus paper discusses recent trends in the upstream oil and natural gas markets; explains how these trends are reflected in IEO2017; and covers some of the uncertainties surrounding the projections.
