Drilling Productivity Report
Oct 13, 2015
EIA’s monthly Drilling Productivity Report (DPR) has been released. The DPR takes a fresh look at oil and natural gas production, starting with an assessment of how and where drilling for hydrocarbons is taking place. It uses recent data on the total number of drilling rigs in operation along with estimates of drilling productivity and estimated changes in production from existing oil and natural gas wells to provide estimated changes in oil and natural gas production for seven key fields.

Coal Transportation Rates to the Electric Power Sector
Oct 8, 2015
The average cost to transport coal in the U.S. remained near $17.50 per ton between 2011 and 2013, but has increased by nearly 9% since 2008. The average cost of shipping by rail, which moves approximately two-thirds of all coal consumed in the U.S., increased by 14% from 2008 to 2013.
Indonesia Country Analysis Brief
Oct 7, 2015
Indonesia struggles to attract sufficient investment to meet growing domestic energy consumption because of inadequate infrastructure and a complex regulatory environment. At the same time, it was the world’s largest exporter of coal by weight and the fifth largest exporter of liquefied natural gas in 2014. The government seeks to meet energy demand at home by reorienting domestic energy production away from serving primarily export markets and increasing renewable energy production, particularly geothermal power.
Short-Term Energy Outlook - Market Prices and Uncertainty Report
Oct 6, 2015

The Availability and Price of Petroleum and Petroleum Products Produced in Countries Other Than Iran
Oct 6, 2015
Number 23 in a series of reports required by section 1245 (d) (4) (A) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, which requires that, not later than 60 days from enactment and every 60 days thereafter, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) “submit to Congress a report on the availability and price of petroleum and petroleum products produced in countries other than Iran in the 60-day period preceding the submission of the report.”
Short-Term Energy Outlook
Oct 6, 2015
North Sea Brent crude oil prices averaged $47/barrel (b) in August, a $10/b decrease from July. This third consecutive monthly decrease in prices likely reflects concerns about lower economic growth in emerging markets, expectations of higher oil exports from Iran, and continuing growth in global inventories. Crude oil price volatility increased significantly, with Brent prices showing daily changes of more than 5% for four consecutive trading days from August 27 to September 1, the longest such stretch since December 2008.
South Korea Country Analysis Brief
Oct 5, 2015
South Korea, which lacks domestic energy reserves, ranks among the world’s top five importers of liquefied natural gas, coal, crude oil, and refined oil products. Despite its lack of resources, South Korea has some of the most advanced oil refineries in the world, and its companies have investments in overseas oil and natural gas assets.
Petroleum Marketing Monthly
Oct 1, 2015
The October 2015 Petroleum Marketing Monthly (PMM), with data through July 2015, presents monthly and annual price and volume statistics covering crude oil and refined products sales in the United States.
In this issue of the PMM, preliminary data show crude oil and refiner prices for most finished petroleum products fell during July. U.S.-level Prime Supplier data show sales of gasoline increased from month- and year-ago levels, while No. 2 distillates sales show the opposite trend. Additionally, updated state motor fuels tax information is available in a downloadable Excel spreadsheet on the PMM webpage.

Sep 30, 2015
EIA is providing estimates for crude oil production (including lease condensate) based on data from the EIA-914 survey. Survey-based monthly production estimates starting with January 2015 are provided for Arkansas, California, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, Wyoming, and the Federal Gulf of Mexico. For Oklahoma and all remaining oil-producing states and areas not individually covered by the EIA-914, production estimates are based on the previous methodology (using lagged state data).
U.S. Movements of Crude Oil By Rail

Natural Gas Annual
Sep 30, 2015
• The 2014 Natural Gas Annual shows record natural gas production levels in the United States for the fourth consecutive year and record consumption levels for the fifth consecutive year.
• Domestic dry production of 25.7 trillion cubic feet (Tcf), or 70.5 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) , in 2014 was 6.3% above the 2013 level, with production in Ohio increasing the most, percentage-wise, of any state. Dry natural gas production in Ohio rose nearly 200%, from 0.45 Bcf/d in 2013 to 1.33 Bcf/d in 2013. As was the case last year, Pennsylvania again saw the biggest total annual gain, increasing by more than 2.5 Bcf/d, from 8.87 Bcf/d in 2013 to 11.44 Bcf/d in 2014.
• Consumer deliveries of natural gas were at a record level of 24.4 Tcf, or 66.7 Bcf/d. Residential, commercial, industrial, and vehicle fuel deliveries each showed an increase from 2013 deliveries, led by industrial volumes, which rose from 20.3 Bcf/d in 2013 to 20.9 Bcf/d in 2014. Electric power deliveries were virtually unchanged from the 2013 level.
• For the seventh consecutive year, gains in domestic natural gas production led to a decline in natural gas imports in 2014. Total U.S. imports of natural gas in 2014 were 2,695,378 Mcf (million cubic feet), the lowest level since 1994. Exports of natural gas dropped from 1,572,413 Mcf in 2013 to 1,514,242 Mcf in 2014, the second consecutive yearly decline.
Natural Gas Monthly
Sep 30, 2015
• This issue contains extensive revisions to 2013, 2014, and year-to-date 2015 data as a result of benchmarking to data published in the Natural Gas Annual 2014. These revisions primarily apply to statistics on production, underground storage, consumption, and prices by sector.
• Dry natural gas production in July was the highest for any month since EIA began reporting dry gas production data. Dry natural gas production has increased year-over-year for each month since March 2013; dry production has not decreased year-over-year for any month since February 2013. Preliminary dry natural gas production for July 2015 was 2,318 billion cubic feet (Bcf), or 74.8 Bcf/day. This level was a 3.6 Bcf/day increase from production of 71.1 Bcf/day in July 2014, a 5.1% rise.
• July’s dry natural gas consumption level was the highest on record for the month, dating back to 2001. This was the sixth consecutive month that saw a record high level of consumption for the given month. Preliminary total natural gas consumption for July 2015 was 2,082 Bcf, or 67.2 Bcf/day. This level was an increase of 10.3% from 1,887 Bcf in July 2014, or 6.29 Bcf/day.
• For the fifth consecutive month, year-over-year total consumption of dry natural gas decreased in three of the four consuming sectors, with the exception being electric power deliveries, which again increased significantly year to year:
o Deliveries to residential consumers for July 2015 were 108 Bcf, or 3.5 Bcf/day, down 4.4% from 3.6 Bcf/day in July 2014. Residential consumption was the second-lowest level for the month on record, dating back to 1973.
o Commercial deliveries were 134 Bcf, or 4.3 Bcf/day, a 2.9% decrease from 4.5 Bcf/day in July 2014.
o Industrial deliveries were 591 Bcf, or 19.1 Bcf/day, down 2.0% from 19.5 Bcf/day in July 2014.
o Electric power deliveries were 1,046 Bcf, or 33.7 Bcf/day, a 23.9% rise from 27.2 Bcf/day in July 2014. July’s electric power consumption was the second-highest level for the month on record.
Norway Country Analysis Brief
Sep 30, 2015
Norway is Europe's largest petroleum liquids producer, and it provides much of the petroleum liquids and natural gas consumed on the continent. Norwegian petroleum and other liquids production, which has been declining since 2001, increased by about 50,000 barrels per day (b/d) in 2014 compared with 2013. Natural gas production, on the other hand, has increased nearly every year since 1993. However, investment in the oil and gas industry in Norway is declining, and this will lead to lower production in the future.
Alternative Fuel Vehicle Data
Sep 30, 2015

Mexico Country Analysis Brief
Sep 21, 2015
Mexico is one of the largest producers of petroleum and other liquids in the world and an important partner in U.S. energy trade. Mexico's crude oil production has steadily decreased since 2005; however, recent government reforms allow for greater outside investment with the goal of increasing oil and natural gas production once again.
