Algeria Country Analysis Brief
Jul 24, 2014
Algeria is the leading natural gas producer in Africa, the second-largest natural gas supplier to Europe, and is among the top three oil producers in Africa. Algeria is estimated to hold the third-largest amount of shale gas resources in the world. However, gross natural gas and crude oil production have gradually declined in recent years, mainly because new production and infrastructure projects have repeatedly been delayed.
OPEC Revenues Fact Sheet
Jul 24, 2014
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that, excluding Iran, members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) earned about $826 billion in net oil export revenues in 2013. This was a 7% decrease from 2012 earnings, but still the second-largest earnings totals during the 1975-2013 period for which EIA has tracked OPEC oil revenues. OPEC earnings declined largely for two reasons: a drop in OPEC oil production in 2013 (largely because of the supply disruption in Libya), and a 3% decline in average crude oil prices.
Prime Supplier Report
Jul 23, 2014

Iran Country Analysis Brief
Jul 22, 2014
Iran holds the world's fourth-largest proved crude oil reserves and the world's second-largest natural gas reserves. Despite the country's abundant reserves, Iran's oil production has substantially declined over the past few years, and natural gas production growth has slowed. International sanctions have profoundly affected Iran's energy sector. Sanctions have prompted a number of cancellations or delays of upstream projects, resulting in declining oil production capacity.

New annual data are also available for total energy consumption per capita, total energy expenditures per capita, and total energy production. Two lists covering petroleum refineries and petroleum product pipelines have been revised as well. In addition, the analytical narrative and Quick Facts for Idaho have been updated, as have the Quick Facts for the five states in the Pacific Census Division: Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington.
Drilling Productivity Report
Jul 14, 2014
EIA’s tenth 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.
Short-Term Energy Outlook
Jul 8, 2014
Developments in Iraq put upward pressure on world oil prices last month, helping North Sea Brent crude oil spot prices reach their highest daily level of the year at just over $115/barrel (bbl) on June 19. North Sea Brent crude oil spot prices increased from a monthly average of $110/bbl in May to $112/bbl in June. This was the 12th consecutive month in which the average Brent crude oil spot price ranged between $107/bbl and $112/bbl. EIA projects Brent crude oil prices to average $110/bbl in 2014 and $105/bbl in 2015, $2/bbl and $3/bbl higher than projected in last month's STEO, respectively.

Issues in International Energy Consumption Analysis: Chinese Transportation Fuel Demand
Jul 1, 2014
The role of China’s transportation sector in global fuel demand continues to grow. Despite challenges (such as data quality, data access, and uncertainty regarding key determinants), continuing efforts to understand and forecast Chinese transportation energy demand are necessary for international energy analysis. This report provides context and background on issues and analytic methods in this area.
