Webinar: Forecasting U.S. Crude Oil Production

Thursday, November 16, 2017 from 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm EST

A webinar was held discussing trends in U.S. crude oil production during 2017 and the implications for 2018 and 2019, as we prepare to release our January 2018 Short-Term Energy Outlook. Our goals were to share EIA’s current analysis and approach for forecasting U.S. oil production, hear from several other oil market analysts and then field questions and recommendations from the audience.

This was a WebEx only meeting.

A recording of the webinar is available on EIA’s YouTube channel.
