U.S. Top NatGas Producer, North America Only Region with Above-Average Consumption, Says BP

摘要

North America was the only region in the world with above-average growth in natural gas consumption last year, and the United States remained the world’s leading gas producer, albeit at a slower pace, BP plc reported Monday in its highly anticipated annual energy economic review. The Statistical Review of World Energy and Global Energy Outlook is considered one of the industry bibles, published since 1952 to provide objective data on energy markets. The markets are evolving in no small part because of the “amazing” growth in oil and gas production by the United States, said Group Chief Economist Christof Ruhl.
