US Oil Production Needed 2-8-24

The US will need to produce an additional 7 million bpd to close the gap between Consumption and Production. 

EIA reports average Oil price per barrel at $109.4 in 2022 and $82.41 in 2023. EIA estimates average Oil price per barrel at $82.49 in 2024 and $79.49 in 2025. This looks right if you assume Biden will be reelected. Trump’s numbers would be lower in 2025 and much lower in the following years. Trump will take gasoline prices back under $3.00 per gallon.

U.S. total petroleum consumption is forecast to rise by 200,000 bpd to 20.5 million bpd in 2023, and is forecast to rise by another 200,000 bpd to 20.7 million bpd in 2024, the data showed. Aug 8, 2023

US Oil Production in 2021 showed US Oil Consumption at 19.69 barrels per day

The US needed to increase oil production back to 13 million barrels per day in 2021 to begin reducing gasoline prices, but oil consumption rose estimates to again from 19.69 bpd to 20.7 bpd.

US Oil & N Gas Production by Month on 2020 and 2021 shows how the reduction in US oil production is driving higher gasoline prices that track the average price of oil.  This is pure supply and demand.
