According to the June Short-Term Energy Outlook from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Crude Oil Production in the US amounted to 13.29 million barrels per day in the first quarter of this year, which is 2.7% more than a year earlier and about 1% less than in the previous quarter. Tight oil production amounted to just over 9 million barrels per day (68%), while production of this type of oil has not grown for the third quarter in a row. On the other hand, natural gas production in the US in 2025Q1 reached a record 105.6 billion cubic feet per day (+ 1.6% year-on-year). Of this, shale gas accounted for 87 billion cubic feet per day or 82%. This production growth was provided mainly by two formations - Permian and Haynesville.
This trend is largely due to the multidirectional price changes. Thus, during the transition from 2024Q1 to 2025Q1, West Texas Intermediate Spot Average prices decreased from 77.50 to 71.85 dollars per barrel, and Henry Cub Spot increased from 2.21 to 4.30 dollars per thousand per cubic feet. In the case of oil, the price decrease is due to market saturation and the refusal of OPEC countries to further curb production. For natural gas, incentives to increase production are due to increased demand for export LNG in the European and Asian markets. Currently, the level of natural gas exports is about 10% of the production level. However, in any case, to maintain the current level of oil production and increase natural gas production, additional investments will be required, which are not yet observed in sufficient quantities.
