US crude output to rise to record 12.76 million bpd in 2023 - EIA

You guys REALLY need to educate yourself in this matter. The information is out there. Stop listening to your media and any politician.

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/...court.html

""I wanted to stop all drilling on the East Coast and the West Coast and in the Gulf [of Mexico]. But I lost in court. We're still pushing really, very hard," Biden said."

It's not like he doesn't want to.

Look what US oil output was in January 2021 as compared to February 2021. That is all you need to know. 2.2 million bbl decrease.

Yup. All YOU need to know, because you don't care about facts or educating yourself, right?

You certainly don't need to look at any other months during that time right? Why would you even want to...I mean...they might make you look silly, right?

January, 2021 - 11,137
February, 2021 - 9,916
March, 2021 - 11,351
April, 2021 - 11,318
May, 2021 - 11,390
June, 2021 - 11,366
July, 2021 - 11,392
August, 2021 - 11,276
September, 2021 - 10,921
October, 2021 - 11,564
November, 2021 - 11,782
December, 2021 - 11,678

And you DEFINITELY don't want to do ANY research whatsoever to see why there might have been such an outlier cut in February, would you? I mean, that might make you look silly, huh?

But people with an actual desire to figure things out and learn something might question why one month would stand out like that and find out why. And what do you know....

Quote:February's data is the first time oil production has dropped below 10 million bpd since January 2018, according to the agency. The output drop came as a freeze in Texas shut in some production, but declines were also seen in other major oil-producing states.

U.S. crude oil output fell in Feb to lowest since 2017

Quote:On February 11-20, 2021, a historical winter event occurred that set many records, including being the first billion-dollar weather disaster of that year. A deep freeze impacted parts of the continental United States (CONUS), remarkably engulfing the entire state of Texas.

The Great Texas Freeze: February 11-20, 2021

Maybe I can put it in visual terms for you...that's easier to understand and remember, right?

Same level of scrutiny?

Jared got $2 billion to invest AFTER Trump left office.
Hunter was installed on a board of a gas and oil company in a country that his daddy was overseeing as VP. Funny now his daddy is spending all our money to help them fight a war.

Trump questioned it and was impeached...

And as bank records are coming out it shows that Biden, LLC was benefiting from it.

Again, your knowledge is just too shallow. Work on that.

Dude, Jared got the money barely 6 months after trump left office. As I said, it needs some scrutiny. FFS, even the Saudi's said it was a risky deal before the murderer overruled them.

And again, I don't believe one Biden bank record has been subpoenaed by the Comer Clown Car.

Might want to slow your roll.

You nor anyone else has explained exactly what work the crackhead was doing to earn exactly $5,000,000. A sum most honest people will not make in a lifetime. Smart rich oligarchs don’t give that amount of money to a drug addict without a reasonable expectation of return.

SO PLEASE TELL US WHAT WORK HUNTER BIDEN WAS DOING FOR BURISMA, KAZAKASTAN OLIGARCHS OR RUSSIAN OLIGARCHS.

I've actually explained it like a dozen times now over the past several months. Try to keep up. ****, I believe I even did it again already in this thread!

US Petroleum daily output by month.

I think there's some confusion based on terminology. They're talking about ANNUAL output, not just a high for a one month period.

Quote:U.S. crude oil production. As a result of higher expected well-level productivity and higher crude oil prices, we expect U.S. crude oil production will average 12.8 million b/d in 2023 and 13.1 million b/d in 2024, both annual records.

EIA - SHORT-TERM ENERGY OUTLOOK

So these are projections, not even actual numbers?

You are vastly ignorant of politics if you don’t think government officials peddle influence then get paid when out of office (or while still in if you are Clarence Thomas).

Lucrative private sector careers, lobbying jobs, investments in businesses. All can be arranged for later.

Those are pretty much all reserved for lefties in case you hadn't noticed.

It's not like he doesn't want to.

Biden is politician. Hence why I said not to listen to him He's talking to his climate voters. His actions did not follow this rhetoric...and the industry is well aware of this. Further, I would imagine his words there are only talking about NEW drilling on federal lands (something I think he actually reversed on shortly after). But again, most wells are on private lands and oil companies had been stockpiling federal leases for awhile in anticipation of a stoppage of new ones.

I've mention it before, but get TikTok (or view the online version at https://www.tiktok.com/discover/matthew-...oil-expert) or look at some older content on Youtube of Mr Global, aka Matt Randolph, a globally recognized expert in the industry and a small oil company owner. He posts videos about daily explaining what's really going on with the oil industry. And no, he's not a Biden shill. Watch a few and you'll see that.

If you listen to him and his cabinet members they are pushing catastrophic green energy policies. The EPA just came out with a carbon capture mandate for the few coal fired/natural gas power plants left that cannot be achieved with todays technology.
I understand that politicians lie and that is especially true with Joe but their policies on energy border on the insane when it comes to their dreams of green energy and it does impact the energy market.

While all of that may be true, you still need to look at what's actually happening with the industry. It's doing fine and on pace to reach record highs...under Biden. So no, he's not hurting the industry. Some of the smartest people on the planet work in O&G, they know what they're doing.

And I hope you're aware, but yeah, when you put together targets and benchmarks you often make them exceedingly high and perhaps unattainable. My company does this all the time with sales goals...and it makes the salespeople work harder to achieve them. Same thing here. If you tell them to just keeping doing what you're doing, how could we ever expect much advancement?

What those mandates do and have done in recent years going back to the Obama years is make it next to impossible to operate a coal fired plant. In just the county I reside in two plants have been shut down because it was deemed too expensive to keep up with the regulations. That is happening more and more with nothing to replace the lost generating capacity of those plants. I'm all for clean air and water but there is a balance that needs to be kept.
Anyway this is getting away from the topic.

Biden is doing everything he can (and everything the courts will let him get away with) to destroy domestic energy production. The real heroes in this are the folks in the energy industries who are succeeding in producing energy despite Biden. The only way in which Biden could possibly be viewed as increasing energy is that his policies are causing prices to rise, which makes more energy projects financially feasible.

Tell me, is Biden a bigger crook than idiot, or a bigger idiot than crook?

This is exactly right. Which makes Tom’s point moot. The energy sector is producing despite when the government openly says that they are trying to transition away from fossil fuels.

The gas lighting won’t work

Example: This would be like Trump taking credit for CO2 emissions dropping in the US when he was in office. He had nothing to do with it and renewables + green sectors grew in spite of deregulating the fossil fuel sectors for his entire term

Anyway, about that $2B Jared got from Saudi Arabia…

A real estate investor got $2B to invest... Kushner was a real estate investor before his marriage and time in the WH.. How much experience did Hunter have in oil, gas, and Ukraine prior to his daddy pulling strings and getting him on the board at Burisma?

I think Elvis...and most on the left...only want the same level of scrutiny placed on Jared's deal as you guys place on Hunter.

Funny, the left didnt giv a sh*t about Hillary's son in law doing basically the same thing as Jared. But unlike Jared, her stupid son in law was using Hillary as insider information. Sydney BLumenthal fed HIllary some bad info that Greece was going to get a bailout. She told her son in law. Her son in law was managing an enormous asset account of some Hillary friendlies, who allowed him to invest their money, not because he was smart, but because they were banking on him getting inside info from Hillary. Unfortunately, the inside info from Blumenthal was wrong, and the son in law lost his client a sh*tton of money by investing heavily in greek junk that turned deeper into junk. And his investors couldnt complain or file charges because they were basically in on the scam.

THe saudies didnt "give" Jared $2billion. They are allowing him to manage $2billion of their assets, because they worked with him while Trump was president and saw him as extremely smart and capable. WHy the left still thinks Jared got $2billion is beyond me, other than yumyum is so very dumdum.

And neither of these situations are like Hunter, who was taking bribes and funnelling money to Biden* and his family for influence peddling.

I would also say that this administration has probably already investigated Jared more than they have Hunter.

And the whataboutism has started.. The "smart ones" here are "tired of proving the right wrong" and have devulved into whataboutism, which means they can't defend that Hunter got on a board for a company in a country, that he didn't know the language, country, or industry but it's like an investor investing money for a different company..

Question.. Did Hunter register as a foreign agent?
