Really? I'm surprised by these numbers.
Source: https://www.schwab.com/learn/story/market-perspective ETA: Oil production has increased in North America and away from geopolitical hot spots First, global oil production is now less concentrated in the Middle East than it has been since the 1970s. Production from Saudi Arabia and Russia has slowed since the mid-2000s, while U.S. production has more than doubled thanks to the shale boom of the 2010s, which turned the U.S. into a net energy exporter for the first time since at least 1949. In that same decade, Canada began to extract crude from the oil sands in Alberta, boosting its production. Despite sanctions from the EU and the U.S. following the invasion in Ukraine, oil from Russia, the world's third-largest producer, has continued to flow, now largely to Indian and Chinese refineries. Second, OPEC members now have ample spare production capacity. When production is tight, exporting countries have little room to respond to increases in demand or shocks that can curtail output and cause prices to spike. The EIA estimates that OPEC's core members have around 4.5 million barrels per day of spare capacity, a sizable cushion roughly equivalent to the total output of the fifth largest oil producer in the world. Third, while oil demand is expected to continue to rise along with economic growth, the pace of demand growth is predicted to be much slower than in recent years, according to EIA forecasts. That implies the balance between oil supply and demand might remain tilted toward oversupply for the coming years. Notably, China, the world's second largest oil consumer, is likely to see soft demand in the near term as its economy struggles to find momentum. Despite current geopolitical risks, these additional factors suggest that the price of oil seems unlikely to sustainably appreciate further, derail disinflation, or curb economic growth. View Quote |

If there is all this oil why is fuel so GD expensive? Are they not selling that shit domestic or something?

How much are we exporting? Most ? Because I bet we’re exporting most of it.

Quoted: If there is all this oil why is fuel so GD expensive? Are they not selling that shit domestic or something? View Quote That isn't how global markets work and it isn't how oil refining/distillation works. All oil is traded on a global market and is sold to the highest bidder. In addition, oil refineries are finely tuned to work with a single type of oil. The US refineries have been shifting to lighter oils like those produced domestically but it is a slow process and no one wants a refinery offline. https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=41653 ETA: An easier explanation https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/america-produces-enough-oil-to-meet-its-needs-so-why-do-we-import-crude |

Domestic refineries aren't optimized to process domestic oil, but rather foreign oil. Foreign refineries aren't optimized to process foreign oil, but rather domestic oil...

This has much to do with our relative indifference to the Russian invasion of Ukraine (which has a huge energy war component, mostly Europe's problem) and Iran vs. Israel and Iranian nukes and the collapse of the US security relationship with Saudi Arabia. We have much less reason to care vs. the 1990's-2000's.
You'll note the other period of pre-WWII American isolationism and peak world power following WWII (fought largely over oil) coincided with the US being utterly dominant in oil production. The period of our decline roughly coincides with the US share of oil production fading. We cared very, very much about Iraq throughout the period of declining conventional production and abruptly stopped caring as soon as fracking took off. Attached File |

Alaska has not increased oil output. Fuck jb and haaland has made it harder to find and get oil out. |

The chart seems to be counting something other than crude oil because the numbers don't add up. The US produces 13 million barrels per day and Russia and Saudi have each cut production to 9 million barrels per day. 13 is not greater than 18 (9+9). Quoted: Sigh. It’s like I predicted this… 2? Years ago. Didn't you predict at the start of the Russia Ukraine war that Russian oil production would collapse in a year or two? |

Years ago. Didn't you predict at the start of the Russia Ukraine war that Russian oil production would collapse in a year or two? I said it would decrease by about ~1-2m bpd as Their further wells will fall off production as western drillers end their relationship and technology sharing. Which is approximately correct, depending on who you listen to. They declined from ~10m bpd to about 8.5m bpd. They are focused on shallow ural region drilling currently. As it’s easy and cheap for them. But unsustainable in those fields long term, as they were tapped originally back in the 1960s. And production fall off is real. Projects like the Sakhalin islands and Siberia have fallen off. Recent Russian LNG projects have been scrapped. NG production has fallen approximately 18% YoY. So approximately the same decline as their oil. Give or take. |

Quoted: Quoted: Doesn’t matter. Refinery capacity is and always will be the bottle neck. On purpose. No? Who’s going to pay for and sit on a multi billion dollar tool, that takes hundreds of millions of dollars to run/staff… and not use it? Excess capacity costs tons of money. No one is willing to front that money right now. |

I still see a lot of frack sites going in and pipelines being built to move that oil around. Definitely not like it was 5 years ago but it's still happening.

Sorry OP, that won't stop gas from going sky high because there shit going down between Israel and Iran.
Never let a crisis go to waste... |
