U.S. was the biggest oil producer in the world in 2014

Posted on Monday, April 20th, 2015 at 4:37 pm    

Despite a significant fall in crude oil prices in the second half of 2014, the United States was still the world’s undisputed biggest producer of oil and natural gas hydrocarbon last year, the Climate Spectator revealed on April 9.

The report said the boost in production was due to the country’s aggressive exploration and drilling of shale gas and tight oil formation, specifically in the states of North Dakota and Texas. The country was able to boost its petroleum production by 3 quadrillion British thermal unit (Btu), or 1.6 million barrels per day, and its natural gas production by 5 quadrillion Btu, or 13.9 billion cubic feet per day.

On the other hand, petroleum and natural gas production in two other competing countries, Russia and Saudi Arabia, has remained unchanged for several years.

The country’s impressive oil and natural gas production further testifies that you can get the most out of your mineral rights by selling it today.

Hillcrest Resources Ltd. announced that on December 19, it completed the purchase of Texas-based Gulfsands Petroleum USA, according to a press statement published by the Marketwatch on January 20.

Texas oil production could outrank all but one OPEC country

Posted on Tuesday, April 29th, 2014 at 10:57 pm    

By the end of 2014, Texas could outrank all OPEC member countries, other than Saudi Arabia, in terms of oil production, the Houston Chronicle reported Wednesday, April 23.

Greg Leveille from ConocoPhillips said that by the end of this year, Texas could produce 3.4 million barrels of oil each day, out performing every OPEC member-country except Saudi Arabia. The state’s oil output is also expected to top that of several leading oil-producing non-OPEC countries, except Russia, the United States, China, and Canada, which could make Texas the sixth largest oil producer globally.

The future of energy-rich Texas in the global energy market is indeed bright, and we at The Mineral Auction invite you to take part in this boom. If you are planning to sell your mineral rights, contact us at (512) 698-2802 to sell your rights at the best possible price.
