摘要

US coal production in the week ended January 2, 1988, as estimated by the Energy Information Administration, totaled 12.8 million short tons (bituminous coal and lignite, nearly 12.8 million short tons; Pennsylvania anthracite, .03 million short tons). This was 1.8% lower than production in the previous week. The preliminary estimate of 1987 production is a record 916,851 thousand short tons, surpassing the previous record 1984 production 895,921 thousand short tons by 2.3%. Compared with 1986 production of 890,315 thousand short tons, the preliminary 1987 estimate represents an increase of 3.0%. Detailed estimates by state will appear in the next issue of Weekly Coal Production. The 1987 production estimate includes a revision to third quarter estimates for 1987. (ERA citation 13:020930)
