US Agency Says Domestic Oil Production Has Not Bottomed Out

摘要

The US Energy Information Administra- tion's (EIA) latest Short Term Energy Out- look (STEO) sees US Lower 48 crude oil output growing by 250,000 barrels per day this year and 80,000 b/d in 2012. But the EIA has a relatively pessimistic view for the US Gulf of Mexico - once widely considered the rising star of the US upstream - where it is projecting a 500,000 b/d decline over the next two years.
