U.S. Crude Oil, Natural Gas, and Natural Gas Liquids Proved Reserves, 2010
Aug 1, 2012
Report released showing U.S. proved crude oil and natural gas reserves achieved record annual volumetric increases in 2010.

Natural Gas Monthly
Jul 31, 2012
The July Natural Gas Monthly, featuring data for May 2012, has been released. Total consumption of natural gas for May 2012, 1,850 Billion cubic feet (Bcf), set a new record for May. This is an increase of 11 percent over the previous May record set in 2011. Deliveries of natural gas to the electric power sector of 819 Bcf drove the trend, reflecting continued displacement of coal with natural gas. Dry production for May stayed relatively stable at 2,028 Bcf, or 65.4 Bcf per day.

EIA Includes Biodiesel Production in Distillate Fuel Oil Demand Calculation
U.S. and regional petroleum supply and disposition balances reported by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) in the Petroleum Supply Monthly (PSM) included biodiesel production data for the first time in May 2012. In addition, previously published PSM data for January-April 2012 were revised to include biodiesel production. Similar revisions will be reported for 2011 when the Petroleum Supply Annual is released at the end of August 2012. Biodiesel production data in the PSM allow EIA to more completely account for biodiesel when calculating demand (measured as product supplied) for distillate fuel oil. Biodiesel production and other biodiesel data are included on the line called "Renewable Fuels Except Fuel Ethanol" in PSM supply and disposition tables. See Appendix B "Detailed Statistics Explanatory Notes" for additional information and details.

Argentina Country Analysis Brief
Jul 24, 2012
Argentina is a significant South American oil and natural gas producer, but in recent years its hydrocarbon production has been in decline while energy demand has grown robustly. Recent assessments suggest that the country possesses one of the world’s largest endowments of shale gas, which has become a focus of efforts to reverse the sector’s decline.

What is the role of coal in the United States?
Jul 18, 2012
The United States holds the world's largest estimated recoverable reserves of coal and is a net exporter of coal. In 2011, our nation's coal mines produced more than a billion short tons of coal, and more than 90% of this coal was used by U.S. power plants to generate electricity.

Short-Term Energy Outlook - Market Prices and Uncertainty Report
Jul 10, 2012
Prices: Crude oil futures prices continued their downward trend for the first half of June but rebounded over the week from June 29 to July 5. Both crude oil benchmarks are currently close to their settlement prices at the beginning of June (Figure 1). The outcome from the European Union summit, which alleviated some short-term fears of a banking crisis, held on June 29 has contributed to the recent rise in oil prices. Reports that Saudi Arabia is beginning to cut back production could also be contributing to the recent price increases.
Short-Term Energy Outlook
Jul 10, 2012
EIA projects the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil spot price to average about $88 per barrel over the second half of 2012 and the U.S. refiner acquisition cost (RAC) of crude oil to average $93 per barrel, both about $7 per barrel lower than last month's Outlook. EIA expects WTI and RAC crude oil prices to remain roughly at these second half levels in 2013. Beginning in this month's Outlook, EIA is also providing a forecast of Brent crude oil spot prices (see Brent Crude Oil Spot Price Added to Forecast), which are expected to average $106 per barrel for 2012 and $98 per barrel in 2013. These price forecasts assume that world oil-consumption-weighted real gross domestic product (GDP) grows by 2.9 percent in both 2012 and 2013.
Natural Gas Year-In-Review
Jul 10, 2012
Natural gas production grew by 7.9 percent in 2011, with large gains in onshore production offsetting continuing declines in the Gulf of Mexico. Production grew despite a year over year decline in prices. Growth in the electric power and industrial sectors drove overall increases in total consumption. Strength in domestic supplies, as well as mild weather in the fourth quarter of the year, reduced the need for pipeline imports, while pipeline exports from the U.S. to Mexico increased substantially.
What is shale gas and why is it important?
Jul 9, 2012
Shale gas refers to natural gas that is trapped within shale formations. Shales are fine-grained sedimentary rocks that can be rich sources of petroleum and natural gas. Over the past decade, the combination of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing has allowed access to large volumes of shale gas that were previously uneconomical to produce.
