SERIES: Issues in International Energy Consumption Analysis
Nov 7, 2014
This article focuses on electricity use in the residential sector of India and, specifically, discusses key trends and provides an overview of available usage estimates from various sources. Indian households are an interesting environment where many of India’s unique features interact. The recent economic gains correlate with rising incomes and possible changes in living standards, which could affect electricity or other energy use within households. Additionally, the maturing electric system and large population in India offer opportunities to study a wide range of interactions between electrification and electricity usage within a developing country.
Petroleum Marketing Monthly
Nov 3, 2014
The November 2014 Petroleum Marketing Monthly (PMM), with data through August 2014, presents monthly and annual price and volume statistics covering crude oil and refined products sales in the United States.
Preliminary August data show prices for crude oil and many finished product prices continue to decline. Prime Supplier data show the volume of gasoline and No.2 distillate sales at the U.S.-level decreased from July to August, while propane sales increased.
Natural Gas Monthly
Oct 31, 2014
• This issue contains extensive revisions to 2012, 2013 and year-to-date 2014 data as a result of benchmarking to data published in the Natural Gas Annual 2013. These revisions primarily apply to statistics on production, underground storage, consumption, and prices by sector.
• Preliminary dry gas production for August 2014 is 2,198 billion cubic feet (Bcf) or 70.9 Bcf/day. This sets the record for the highest dry production value in Bcf/day for the sixth consecutive month. August’s 70.9 Bcf/day is a slight increase from July’s revised 70.1 Bcf/day.
• Preliminary total consumption for August 2014 is 1,956 Bcf or 63.1 Bcf per day, an increase of 1.6% from last August’s revised 1,926 Bcf or 62.1 Bcf/day. This was the second highest consumption for August since 2001.
• Deliveries to residential consumers for August 2014 are 105 Bcf or 3.4 Bcf/day; commercial deliveries are 135 Bcf or 4.4 Bcf/day; industrial deliveries are 610 Bcf or 19.7 Bcf/day; and electric power deliveries are 895 Bcf or 28.9 Bcf/day. Industrial deliveries increased 3.2% from the revised August 2013 deliveries (591 Bcf or 19.1 Bcf/day) and are also the highest for the month since 2002.
Natural Gas Annual
Oct 31, 2014
- The 2013 Natural Gas Annual shows record natural gas production and consumption levels in the United States. In 2013, domestic dry production of 24.3 trillion cubic feet (Tcf), or 66.7 billion cubic feet per day, (Bcf/d) rose just over 1 percent over 2012, with Ohio increasing the most, percentage-wise, of any state. Dry production in Ohio more than doubled from 0.2 Bcf/d in 2012 to 0.5 Bcf/d in 2013. Pennsylvania once again saw the biggest total gains, however, increasing almost 3 Bcf/d from 6.13 Bcf/d in 2012 to 8.86 Bcf/d in 2013.
- Record levels of consumer deliveries were 23.8 Tcf, or 65.2 Bcf/d; while electric power deliveries dropped for the first time since 2008, the other four sectors each showed an increase from 2012 deliveries, led by residential, which rose from 11.3 Bcf/d in 2012 to 13.5 Bcf/d in 2013.
- Continuing a trend, production gains enabled a decline in natural gas imports in 2013 for the sixth straight year. Total imports of natural gas for 2013 were 2,883,355 Mcf (million cubic feet), the lowest since 1995. Meanwhile, exports of natural gas dropped from 1,618,828 Mcf in 2012 to 1,572,413 Mcf in 2013, only the third time since 1996 that exports have declined year-to-year.

What Drives U.S. Gasoline Prices?
Oct 30, 2014
One question of interest to policymakers and the public is which crude prices, domestic or international, matter most to the determination of gasoline prices in the United States. This paper focuses on that question, and also explores how linkages across regional and international markets where gasoline is sold have evolved over time and influence gasoline pricing in domestic markets.

The Availability and Price of Petroleum and Petroleum Products Produced in Countries Other Than Iran
Oct 30, 2014
The 17th 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.”
Effect of Increased Levels of Liquefied Natural Gas Exports on U.S. Energy Markets
Oct 29, 2014
This report responds to a May 2014 request from the Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy (DOE\/FE) for an analysis of "the impact of increased domestic natural gas demand, reflecting possible export of U.S. natural gas." Appendix A provides a copy of the DOE\/FE request letter. Specifically, DOE\/FE asked the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) to assess how specified scenarios of increased natural gas exports could affect domestic energy markets, focusing on consumption, production, and prices.

Price Elasticities for Energy Use in Buildings of the United States
Oct 22, 2014
Energy demand tends to be responsive to changes in energy prices, a concept in economics known as price elasticity. Generally, an increase in a fuel price causes users to use less of that fuel or switch to a different fuel. The extent to which each of these changes takes place is of high importance to stakeholders in the energy sector and especially in energy planning. The purpose of this analysis is to determine fuel-price elasticities in stationary structures, particularly in the residential and commercial sectors.
U.S. Energy-Related Carbon Dioxide Emissions, 2013
Oct 21, 2014
U.S. Energy Information Administration releases its online analysis of 2013 energy-related carbon dioxide emissions today. It indicates U.S. carbon dioxide emissions from the consumption of fossil fuels were 5,396 million metric tons carbon dioxide in 2013, an increase of 2.5% from the 2012 level. Despite the increase in 2013, energy-related carbon dioxide emissions remain 10% below 2005 levels.

Drilling Productivity Report
Oct 14, 2014
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.
