Kazakhstan Country Analysis Brief

Sep 18, 2012
Kazakhstan is a major oil producer and continued development of its giant oilfields Tengiz, Karachaganak, and Kashagan will be key to its future oil production growth. However, the country is land-locked and lies a great distance from international oil markets, and development of additional export capacity will be necessary for production growth.

Short-Term Energy Outlook

Sep 11, 2012
Higher crude oil prices, refinery outages, a pipeline disruption, and concerns over Hurricane Isaac's impact on the Gulf Coast, the United States' major refining region, contributed to higher gasoline prices during August. EIA has increased the average regular-gasoline retail price forecast for the third quarter of 2012 to $3.66 per gallon from $3.49 per gallon in last month's Outlook. EIA expects retail gasoline prices to begin declining later this month as the gasoline market recovers and transitions from summer-grade to winter-grade gasoline specifications.

Natural Gas Monthly

Aug 31, 2012
The August Natural Gas Monthly, featuring data for June 2012, has been released. It was another record-setting month for total consumption of natural gas for June with 1,847 Billion cubic feet (Bcf) consumed, 12 percent above the previous high for total consumption reached for June in 2011. Deliveries of natural gas to the electric power sector of 884 Bcf led the strong consumption trend, again reflecting continued displacement of coal with natural gas and coming in at more than 25 percent of electric power use for June 2011. Dry natural gas production for June stayed relatively stable for the third straight month at 1,961 Bcf or 65.4 Bcf per day.

The importance of hydropower as a source of electricity generation varies by geographic region. While hydropower accounted for 8% of total U.S. electricity generation in 2011, it provided over half of the electricity in the Pacific Northwest.

Mixed outlook for energy expenditures this winter  ›

We expect energy expenditures this winter to vary because of diverging trends in energy prices among fuels and regional variation in forecast temperatures. We expect that lower prices for natural gas and propane will drive decreases in expenditures this year for the half of U.S. households heating with those fuels. Higher prices for electricity and heating oil drive increased expenditures for households heating with those fuels in our forecast. More ›
