NOTE: The Energy Information Administration
(EIA) has revised weekly coal production estimates for 2011 to equal Quarter 4
MSHA 2011 surveyed data. The revised data are now included in the weekly coal
tables starting with the week ending March 24, 2012.
Coal production for 2010 has been revised to match
MSHA final 2010 data as of October 22, 2011.
For the week ended May 12, 2012:
- U.S. coal production totaled approximately 17.9 million short tons (mmst)
- This production estimate is the same as last week's estimate and 13.3 percent lower than the production estimate in the comparable week in 2011
- Coal production east of the Mississippi River totaled 8.3 mmst
- Coal production west of the Mississippi River totaled 9.6 mmst
- U.S. year-to-date coal production totaled 364.9 mmst, 8.1 percent lower than the comparable year-to-date coal production in 2011
What data are in the “Weekly Coal Production
Report”?
The Weekly Coal Production (WCP) Report provides estimates for
U.S. coal production by State based on railroad car loading data:
• The
weekly version of the report contains data for the latest week.
• The
monthly version of the report contains data for the latest month.
EIA also provides:
• weekly and monthly revised
estimates from 1984 forward;
• original weekly estimates for all weeks
starting with the first week of 2002 to the current week; and
•
original monthly estimates for all months starting with January 2002 to
the current month.
The data presented in the WCP Report are collected and
published by the EIA to fulfill data collection and dissemination responsibilities
as specified in the Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-275), as amended.
How are the data revised?
EIA revises its first-round weekly estimates of
State-level coal production using Mine Safety and Health Administration
(MSHA) quarterly coal production data. After revision, EIA’s State-level
weekly numbers summed for the quarter, match the MSHA data.
