Total natural gas production on federal lands lowest in 9 years
Total fossil fuel production 6% less than in 2010
March 17, 2012
The Institute for Energy Research posted an article about a newly released report from the Energy Information Administration (www.eia.gov). The report, Sales of Fossil Fuels Produced on Federal and Indian Lands, FY 2003 Through FY 2011 "shows that total fossil fuel production on federal lands is falling, natural gas production on federal lands is falling, and oil production on federal land fell in 2011 ending two years of increase."
The new EIA report shows:
• Fossil fuel (coal, oil, and natural gas) production on Federal and Indian lands is the lowest in the 9 years EIA reports data and is 6 percent less than in fiscal year 2010.
• Crude oil and lease condensate production on Federal and Indian lands is 13 percent lower than in fiscal year 2010.
• Natural gas production on Federal and Indian lands is the lowest in the 9 years that EIA reports data and is 10 percent lower than in fiscal year 2010.
• Natural gas plant liquids production on Federal and Indian lands is 3 percent lower than in fiscal year 2010.
• Coal production on Federal and Indian lands is the lowest in the 9 years of data that EIA reported and is 2 percent lower than in fiscal year 2010.
