US oil production climbs to record as net imports decline

摘要

Washington-US oil production averaged a record 12.6 million b/d last week as US net imports of crude oil fell to levels not seen since February, the US Energy Information Administration said Wednesday. In its Weekly Petroleum Status Report for the week ending October 4, the agency said domestic crude production had increased by 1.4 million b/d from the same week a year ago.
