Light-duty vehicle energy demand demographics and travel behavior
Apr 16, 2014
This article discusses two alternative cases that examine variations in travel demand as compared with the Reference case. One case assumes an environment in which travel choices made by drivers result in lower demand for personal vehicle travel, consistent with recent trends in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) per licensed driver. Another case assumes changes in travel behavior that result in an increase in VMT per licensed driver relative to the Reference case.
Potential for liquefied natural gas use as a railroad fuel
Apr 14, 2014
This article examines the potential for fueling freight locomotives with liquefied natural gas (LNG). While there is significant appeal for major U.S. railroads in using LNG as a fuel for locomotives because of its potentially favorable economics, there are also factors that may limit the extent to which railroads can take advantage of this relatively cheap and abundant fuel.
Drilling Productivity Report
Apr 14, 2014
EIA’s seventh 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 six key fields.
U.S. Crude Oil and Natural Gas Proved Reserves, 2012
Apr 10, 2014
Proved reserves of oil and natural gas show divergent trends reflecting large decline in natural gas prices. Crude oil reserves highest since 1976. Largest annual increase in crude oil reserves since 1970. Average natural gas prices fell 34% between 2011 and 2012, reducing estimate of recoverable volumes of natural gas under existing economic conditions. Pennsylvania's Marcellus becomes largest natural gas shale play in 2012.
Short-Term Energy Outlook
Apr 8, 2014
During the April-through-September summer driving season this year, regular gasoline retail prices are forecast to average $3.57/gallon (gal). The projected monthly national average regular retail gasoline price falls from $3.66/gal in May to $3.46/gal in September. EIA expects regular gasoline retail prices to average $3.45/gal in 2014 and $3.37/gal in 2015, compared with $3.51/gal in 2013. The July 2014 New York Harbor reformulated blendstock for oxygenate blending (RBOB) futures contract averaged $2.85/gal for the five trading days ending April 3, 2014. Based on the market value of futures and options contracts for this key petroleum component of gasoline, there is a 3% probability that its price at expiration will exceed $3.35/gal, consistent with a monthly average regular-grade gasoline retail price exceeding $4.00/gal in July 2014 (see EIA Summer Fuels Outlook slideshow).

South Korea Country Analysis Brief
Apr 1, 2014
South Korea, which lacks domestic energy reserves, is one of the world’s top energy importers. The country was the second largest importer of liquefied natural gas, the fourth largest importer of coal, and the fifth largest importer of crude oil in 2013. Despite its lack of resources, South Korea has some of the most advanced oil refineries in the world, and its companies are seeking overseas oil and gas opportunities.
Natural Gas Monthly
