U.S. Leads The World In Petroleum And Natural Gas Production

How This Will Affect You Energy Cost

The United States is currently the world’s top producer of petroleum and natural gas hydrocarbons.

Our nation’s output continues to exceed that of both Russia and Saudi Arabia. Recent growth in Texas and North Dakota since 2008 has resulted a major increase in U.S. oil production. The recent shale oil boom due to hydraulic fracturing is expected to reduce our dependence on oil imports to 22 percent in 2015, the lowest level in 45 years.

In addition to the U.S. shale boom, America, which is the world’s biggest consumer of petroleum, is demanding less and less of it. Right now oil supplies are outstripping demand and causing commodity prices to fall.
