The U.S. Is Pumping Oil Faster Than Ever

Drill, baby, drill!



The U.S. is pumping oil faster than ever. Republicans don’t care.



The GOP narrative has a major hole: U.S. oil production — already the highest in the world — is on track to set a new record this year, and will probably rise even more in 2024. But the ever-increasing flow of U.S. crude has failed to keep a lid on gasoline prices, showing once again that a global market drives the fuel prices that shape presidents’ political futures.

And that means events far beyond the nation’s borders will play a sizable role in voters’ verdict on “Bidenomics” — as global oil prices rise and fall in response to banking conditions in Europe, China’s slumping real estate market, Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine and the latest maneuvers by Saudi Arabia.

U.S. oil production is forecast to average an all-time high of 12.8 million barrels a day this year and keep growing to 13.1 million in 2024, the federal Energy Information Administration said in its latest forecast.





This reality has not stopped dishonest Republicans from lying:


In one campaign ad, former Vice President Mike Pence pretends to fill his pickup truck and blames Biden’s energy policy for “causing real hardship” for Americans, while ex-South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley has vowed to bring oil production back to the United States.

And Sen. Tim Scott (R.-S.C.) railed last month on the Biden administration, which he asserted “has shut down energy production in America.”

“Why won’t this President tap into our abundant energy resources here at home and bring down prices at the pump?” he asked.

In fact, though, oil production from federal lands and waters has risen on Biden’s watch, reaching past 3 million barrels per day last year. The high mark during President Donald Trump’s term was 2.75 million barrels a day.
Such obvious lies.
 
If we are pumping more oil faster then where is the extra going? Offshore? Pathetic.

It ain't going to the SPR as promised by Biden, even though things are getting hot in the Middle East....

  • Crude oil exports
    The U.S. exported 4.06 million b/d of crude oil, which was a record high. The top destinations for U.S. crude oil exports were Mexico, China, the Netherlands, Canada, and Japan.
  • Petroleum imports
    The U.S. imported 6.48 million b/d of petroleum, with the top sources being Canada, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Brazil.

The U.S. has been a net exporter of petroleum since 2020, the first time since at least 1949. The U.S. has been a net exporter of primary energy since 2019.
 
Thank you, President Biden.
