U.S. crude oil production could top 12 million barrels per day by the end of 2019, according to the latest Energy Department (DOE) forecast released on Tuesday.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration, the DOEs statistics arm, (EIA) projects U.S. crude output would grow by more than 1.5 million barrels per day over the next two years, primarily as the result of abundant shale oil and gas reserves.
EIA projects the U.S. will average 11.9 million [barrels per day (b/d)] in 2019, 0.4 million b/d higher than forecast the agency released in April. Now, EIA forecasts U.S. crude oil production will end 2019 at more than 12 million b/d.

There is no reason our gas should be north of $1.99/gal.

I’d like to see PDJT call out the artificial price rise...
And no, I’m not for price fixing, and I do own my own business and understand supply and demand, elasticity, etc...that’s why it does suck, be cause it is fake.

Google US daily oil consumption.
there is no reason that America should not be the world’s #! energy exporter (oil, coal. and natural gas) and put OPEC out of business.
