The U.S. Power Info Administration (EIA) famous in its newest quick time period power outlook (STEO) that it expects U.S. crude oil manufacturing to set annual information in 2023 and 2024 however added that development is slowing.
“We estimate West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil costs will common $83 per barrel over the three years from 2022 to 2024, whereas annual development in U.S. crude oil manufacturing over the identical interval will common 0.4 million barrels per day,” the EIA mentioned in its June STEO.
“That compares to common crude oil manufacturing development of 1.1 million barrels per day through the three-year interval from 2017 to 2019, when the WTI value averaged solely $58 per barrel,” the EIA added.

The altering response to crude oil costs by U.S. producers might replicate a mix of the usage of capital to extend dividends and repurchase shares as a substitute of investing in new manufacturing, the consequences of tighter labor markets and better prices, and elevated stress on oilfield provide chains, the EIA famous within the STEO.
“Regardless of this shift from the historic value response , we nonetheless count on U.S. crude oil manufacturing to proceed rising to document ranges, pushed primarily by manufacturing development within the Permian Basin,” the EIA added.
In accordance with the June STEO, U.S. crude oil manufacturing will common 12.61 million barrels per day in 2023 and 12.77 million barrels per day in 2024. Decrease 48 states, excluding the Gulf of Mexico, take 10.31 million barrels per day and 10.46 million barrels per day of the overall U.S. share in 2023 and 2024, respectively, the STEO reveals. The Federal Gulf of Mexico takes 1.88 million barrels per day and 1.91 million barrels per day in 2023 and 2024, respectively, and Alaska takes 0.42 million barrels per day and 0.40 million barrels per day in 2023 and 2024, respectively, in accordance with the STEO.
a quarterly breakdown, the June STEO initiatives that U.S. crude oil manufacturing will common 12.56 million barrels per day within the second quarter, 12.57 million barrels per day within the third quarter, 12.70 million barrels per day within the fourth quarter, 12.69 million barrels per day within the first quarter of subsequent yr, 12.63 million barrels per day within the second quarter of 2024, 12.76 million barrels per day within the third quarter of 2024, and 13 million barrels per day within the fourth quarter of subsequent yr.
U.S. crude oil output averaged 11.89 million barrels per day again in 2022, the June STEO highlighted. Final yr, Decrease 48 states, excluding the Gulf of Mexico, produced a median of 9.71 million barrels per day, the STEO revealed. The Federal Gulf of Mexico produced 1.74 million barrels per day and Alaska produced 0.44 million barrels per day, the STEO outlined.
In its earlier STEO, which was launched in Could, the EIA projected that U.S. crude oil manufacturing would are available in at 12.53 million barrels per day in 2023 and 12.69 million barrels per day in 2024. In that STEO, Decrease 48 states, excluding the Gulf of Mexico, had been anticipated to take 10.21 million barrels per day and 10.37 million barrels per day of the overall U.S. share in 2023 and 2024, respectively. The Federal Gulf of Mexico was anticipated to take 1.90 million barrels per day and 1.92 million barrels per day in 2023 and 2024, respectively, and Alaska was anticipated to take 0.42 million barrels per day and 0.40 million barrels per day in 2023 and 2024, respectively.
In accordance with EIA knowledge stretching again to January 1983, weekly U.S. subject manufacturing of crude oil hit a document of 13.1 million barrels per day within the week ending February 28, 2020, and the week ending March 13, 2020. Weekly U.S. subject manufacturing of crude oil didn’t break above 12.5 million barrels per day the next month, 12 million barrels per day in Could 2020, and 11.2 million barrels per day in June 2020, the information reveals.
In accordance with the most recent knowledge entry, weekly U.S. subject manufacturing of crude oil got here in at 12.4 million barrels per day within the week ending June 9, 2023. The final time weekly U.S. subject manufacturing of crude oil hit this determine was again within the week ending April 3, 2020, the information outlines.
The bottom weekly U.S. subject manufacturing of crude oil determine within the EIA knowledge was recorded within the week ending September 30, 2005, at 3.813 million barrels per day.
The EIA collects, analyzes, and disseminates unbiased and neutral power info to advertise sound policymaking, environment friendly markets, and public understanding of power and its interplay with the financial system and the atmosphere, in accordance with its web site. The group was created in response to the necessity for added Federal initiatives to gather and disseminate energy-related info, and to guage and analyze this info, the EIA’s website notes.
