![]() helped the situation, she said, but the only solution was more pipelines and takeaway capacity. More natural gas exportation from the U.S. Without enough infrastructure to move the natural gas, Sgamma said producers are often forced to burn it off via flaring or release the gas into the atmosphere. “Because there’s a glut of natural gas in the United States, there simply isn’t a market for all the extra gas.” “The challenge continues to be the high percentage of associated natural gas from oil wells in these areas,” Sgamma said. ![]() The biggest challenge facing the oil industry, she said, is the constantly growing need for pipelines and other infrastructure to address a “glut” in natural gas brought up with crude oil. “But other oil areas in the West such as the Powder River Basin in Wyoming and the Bakken in North Dakota have contributed as well.” “The Permian Basin, including New Mexico, is a primary reason the United States has reached record production,” Sgamma said. ![]() She also pointed to the Powder River Basin in Wyoming and the Bakken in North Dakota as significant regions of production in the U.S. Kathleen Sgamma, president of the Western Energy Alliance credited the Permian Basin and New Mexico as a “primary” contributor the U.S. was ahead of Saudi Arabia, which has 12.4 million barrels per day or 12 percent of the world's total production, and Russia with 11.4 million barrels per day or 11 percent of the global market. lead the world with 17.9 million barrels per day, or 18 percent of global production. as the top oil-producing country in the world, the report read.įor total petroleum products, including crude oil, petroleum liquids and biofuels, the EIA reported the U.S. The rise in production further solidified the U.S. United States a world leader in oil production "As national oil and gas production increased, that's coming from a handful of shale basins, but mostly from New Mexico." "This accomplishment for this country shows the strength of the Permian Basin and in places like New Mexico where investment and development has accelerated in recent years," McEntyre said. He said the State was nearing one million barrels per day, having already surpassed 900,000 barrels per day earlier this year. Robert McEntyre, spokesman for the New Mexico Oil and Gas Association said New Mexico's Permian Basin was leading the growth. oil production on global markets and helped insulate consumers from external shocks.” “Decreased oil prices in October – despite record demand for the month and solid exports – underscored the influence of U.S. “Across the board, the October results were a great reflection of how market forces have benefited consumers,” said API Chief Economist Dean Foreman. October’s rate of 12.6 million barrels per day was consistent throughout the month, with production climbing in the second week of November to 12.8 million barrels.Ī report from the American Petroleum Institute (API) cited the rise in production, coupled with lower prices throughout October. ![]() Energy Information Administration showed oil production consistently grew throughout 2019, up from January’s peak of 11.9 million barrels per day, crossing the 12 million barrel-per-day threshold in March.īy the end of August, production was about 12.5 million barrels per day, but dipped slightly to 12.4 million by the end of September, records show. crude oil rose to an all-time high in October, peaking at 12.6 million barrels per day last month and continuing to grow to 12.8 million barrels per day as of Nov.
