The United States has become the backbone of the international gas industry as the nation produces more natural gas than any other country on the planet. For decades, the substantial basins in the US have provided US energy companies with the means to develop astonishing levels of output capacity from fields such as the prolific Permian and Delaware basins. Energy Transfer, a mainstay of the US energy market, has announced its plans to expand the Transwestern Pipeline to reach new demand in the US Southwest for natural gas.

Crude production is about to pick up in the Permian Basin, analysts say.

Permian players are expanding gas processing and takeaway capacity in the basin—an indication of plans to ramp up crude production over the next two years, according to analysts tracking the region.

Permian crude production has flattened since February, staying within striking distance of 6 MMbbl/d since last fall, according to a study by analytical firm RBN Energy. Consolidation, capital discipline and a lack of natural gas takeaway capacity have led E&Ps to keep production relatively steady.

US oil and gas companies profits skyrocket as the US becomes the energy supplier of choice

Despite the Biden administration’s ambitious climate goals, the oil and gas industry in the United States has seen unprecedented growth and profitability. The top 10 listed oil and gas producers in the US have reported a combined net income of $313 billion in the first three years of President Biden’s term (Financial Times), this is three times the $112 billion generated during the same period under President Trump.

This surge in profitability can be attributed to several factors, including record-high production levels as well as significant cost reduction particularly in the oil rich Gulf of Mexico. In December 2023, US oil production reached 13.5 million barrels per day, surpassing all previous records. According to the US Energy Administration, by 2024 the US will reach the daily production of 14 million barrels per day. Additionally, natural gas production exceeded 105 billion cubic feet per day for the first time. These achievements have solidified the US as a global energy leader, with the country now ranking as the second-largest exporter of crude oil and the largest exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG), overtaking Qatar.

According to a jointly-released statement from the Railroad Commission of Texas and the Public Utility Commission of Texas, the Texas Electricity Supply Chain Map now includes more information that will assist state emergency officials in preparing for, responding to and recovering from weather emergencies or other disasters.

The map was created in April 2022, and has successfully been used by state emergency officials during weather emergencies including severe storms last winter season. It’s a crucial tool used by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT), the Railroad Commission (RRC), and state emergency responders to respond to issues in real-time through direct communication and movement of resources necessary for maintenance or repair of electric generation and transmission infrastructure during an emergency.

The map has more than 12,746 facilities, including electricity generation plants powered by natural gas, electric substations, natural gas processing plants, underground gas storage facilities, oil and gas well leases, saltwater disposal wells. It also has more than 21,000 miles of gas transmission pipelines and approximately 60,000 miles of electric transmission lines;
