"Forecast: U.S. Oil Production Surges, Challenging Global Market Dynamics"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Seeking Alpha
The U.S. Energy Information Administration predicts that U.S. crude oil production will reach record levels of 13.2M bbl/day in 2024 and 13.4M bbl/day in 2025, attributing the growth to increased well efficiency. However, the rate of growth is expected to slow due to lower drilling activity. The EIA also forecasts significant growth in solar power as a source of U.S. electricity generation. Additionally, it anticipates a drop in OPEC+ production and an increase in global petroleum inventories by mid-2025, despite efforts to restrict production and prevent price declines.
