EIA expects nine new Gulf of Mexico natural gas and crude oil fields to start in 2022
In our June 2022 Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), we forecast that new fields coming online in 2022 will account for 5% of natural gas production and 14% of crude oil production in the U.S. Federal Offshore Gulf of Mexico (GOM) by the end of 2023. We expect that GOM natural gas production will average 2.1 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in 2023, down 0.1 Bcf/d from 2022. We expect that GOM crude oil production will average 1.8 million barrels per day (MMb/d) in 2023, about the same as in 2022. Currently, no GOM fields are scheduled to start up in 2023.
During 2021, 15% of all U.S. crude oil production was produced in the GOM, and 2% of U.S. natural gas production was produced there. In our STEO, we forecast that eight new fields in the GOM will produce both oil and natural gas by year-end, based partly on data from Rystad Energy. We expect a ninth field, which will produce only crude oil, to start in 2022.
I don't think you know what you are talking about.... Biden told us he was going to crush the oil and gas industry before the stolen election... weren't you listening?.....Keep whining about the 10% of oil and gas production, Biden/US government controls.
Ignore the 90% they don't.
But it's Biden's fault?
Biden told us he was going to crush the oil and gas
Oil production will always rise along with the rise in population... but that does not mean it is meeting the needs of our nation or the world...Worst crushing of Big Oil Ever.
Production up a million barrels a day under Biden already.
Its called inflation... Inflation raises the cost of everything.... Sadly the dollar just doesn't buy what it did just two years ago....The price per barrel has been higher but the price at the pump has not. Perhaps there are dynamics that are unrelated to the amount we are sucking out of the ground at play. Just a thought...
US oil production steadily dropped from 1985 till 2009. It has been rising ever since, barring economic and weather catastrophes. But it would take another decade or two of increases like that to meet our consumption rate.Oil production will always rise along with the rise in population... but that does not mean it is meeting the needs of our nation or the world...
If you are trying to say Biden is not responsible for the high gas price you are nuts... If Trump were still in office you would be all over him for it.... not searching the web for fake news to defend him...US oil production steadily dropped from 1985 till 2009.

Really?I don't think you know what you are talking about.... Biden told us he was going to crush the oil and gas industry before the stolen election... weren't you listening?.....

The entire 10%?
WOW.
Like claiming the 2 gallons out fuel, I siphoned out of your 20 gallon fuel tank, is going to cripple you.
May as well, not drive your truck anymore, you're DONE.
A noble sentiment indeed. But when did you last see a Democrat pay for anything?The Dems are going to pay dearly in November....

But it's Biden's fault?
We often don't hear about it or see it... the media keeps it quiet when dems get their comeuppance... but it does happen and will continue to happen... Just think of all of the most vocal anti Trumpers that have gone by the wayside...A noble sentiment indeed. But when did you last see a Democrat pay for anything?
They just passe the bill to George Soros who is far to the left of any ordinary peon-crat.
The dems are fighting a fire with a straw trying to explain why gas prices are not Biden's fault...You have no clue what is going on since the companies needs to have a stable future to plan on which Biden makes difficult.
If you are trying to say Biden is not responsible for the high gas price you are nuts... If Trump were still in office you would be all over him for it.... not searching the web for fake news to defend him...
There is crude of all thicknesses and grades... the best places for valued crude to refine has been placed off limits for drilling... also we are using more oil than we did just a few years ago when we were able to frack for natural gas....
There is a leftwing war on fossil fuels and that's why gas is up at the pump....
Biden and the left are playing games with the facts... we are not energy independent like we were just two years ago... Biden has been placing rich oil deposits off limits for drilling just like Obama did....First the topic is destroying US Offshore Oil Production, not high gas prices.
Offshore production has not in any sense of the word been destroyed.
Texas refiners have been using heavy sour crude since we were friends with Venezuela. They switch over to the Canadian slurry, and now all that new sweet WTI is being shipped out of state for refining!
Stop the war. Drill and Build.
