The U.S. Power Data Administration (EIA) revealed its newest U.S. crude oil and pure fuel proved reserves figures in a report posted on its website just lately.
In accordance with the report, which incorporates knowledge as much as 2023, U.S. crude oil and lease condensate proved reserves decreased 3.9 p.c yr over yr from 2022, from 48.3 billion barrels to 46.4 billion barrels.
North Dakota crude oil and lease condensate reserves decreased 12.3 p.c from 2022, the report confirmed, highlighting that, at 611 million barrels, this was the most important annual internet decline reported amongst all states. The second largest internet decline of oil reserves occurred in Alaska, based on the report, which identified that the state noticed an 11.4 p.c, or 384 million barrel, drop.

New Mexico crude oil and lease condensate proved reserves elevated 6.1 p.c from 2022 to 2023, the report highlighted. At 380 million barrels, this was the most important internet improve in 2023, the EIA report revealed.
The report additionally confirmed that U.S. crude oil and lease condensate manufacturing elevated 7.8 p.c yr over yr from 2022 to 2023.
Pure Fuel
Proved reserves of U.S. pure fuel decreased 12.6 p.c yr over yr, from 691.0 trillion cubic toes (Tcf) to 603.6 Tcf, the EIA report acknowledged, including that this was the primary annual lower in U.S. pure fuel reserves since 2020.
Alaska noticed the most important annual internet decline amongst all states in 2023, based on the report, which revealed pure fuel proved reserves within the state decreased 22.7 p.c, or 28.5 Tcf. Texas had the second largest internet decline in proved reserves of pure fuel, based on the report, which revealed that the state’s proved reserves drop was 12.6 p.c, or 21.4 Tcf.
Montana reported the most important annual internet improve in proved reserves of pure fuel from 2022 to 2023, the report highlighted, revealing the state’s proved reserves rise got here in at 11.2 p.c, or 70 billion cubic toes.
The report went on to level out that U.S. pure fuel manufacturing elevated 3.4 p.c in 2023.
Preparation, Definition
To arrange its report, the EIA collected independently developed estimates of proved reserves with Kind EIA-23L, Annual Report of Home Oil and Fuel Proved Reserves, from a pattern of U.S. operators of oil and pure fuel fields, the EIA identified in its report.
“We use this pattern to additional estimate the portion of proved reserves from operators who don’t report,” the EIA stated within the report, including that, this yr, it acquired responses from 422 of 458 sampled operators, which the EIA stated “supplied protection of about 95 p.c of proved reserves of oil and 97 p.c of proved reserves of pure fuel on the nationwide stage”.
“We develop estimates for reserves situated in america, every state individually, and a few state subdivisions,” the EIA went on to notice within the report.
Proved reserves are estimated volumes of hydrocarbon assets that evaluation of geologic and engineering knowledge demonstrates with affordable certainty are recoverable underneath present financial and working circumstances, the EIA acknowledged in its report.
The group stated within the report that reserves estimates change from yr to yr due to worth and price adjustments, new discoveries, thorough value determinations of present fields, present reserves manufacturing, and new and improved strategies and applied sciences.
Earlier Figures
A chart featured within the EIA’s newest report, which included knowledge from 1983 to 2023, confirmed that U.S. proved reserves of crude oil and lease condensate and U.S. proved reserves of pure fuel each hit a peak in 2022.
In its earlier U.S. crude oil and pure fuel proved reserves report, which was launched in April final yr and included knowledge as much as 2022, the EIA stated U.S. crude oil and lease condensate proved reserves elevated 9 p.c from 44.4 billion barrels to 48.3 billion barrels at year-end 2022.
Texas noticed the most important crude oil and pure fuel proved reserves internet improve that yr, the report highlighted. The state’s proved reserves improve got here in at 9 p.c, or 1.7 billion barrels, based on the report. The most important internet lower in proved reserves of crude oil and lease condensate in 2022 was in California, the report revealed. California’s proved reserves drop got here in at 13 p.c, or 225 million barrels, the report confirmed.
Proved reserves of U.S. pure fuel elevated 10 p.c in 2022, the report confirmed, highlighting that this determine jumped from 625.4 Tcf at year-end 2021 to 691.0 Tcf at year-end 2022.
“Pure fuel proved reserves in Alaska elevated 25 p.c in 2022, elevating that state’s whole from 99.8 Tcf to 125.2 Tcf – the most important improve of all states in 2022,” the EIA stated in that report.
“Operators in Pennsylvania reported the most important internet lower in proved reserves of pure fuel in 2022 (652 billion cubic toes, or 0.6 p.c),” it added.
The EIA’s subsequent U.S. crude oil and pure fuel proved reserves report is scheduled to be launched in June 2026 and can embrace knowledge as much as 2024.
