US
natural gas exports increased from 1,514,242 million cubic feet in 2014 to
1,783,512 million cubic feet in 2015, all carried by pipelines.
Our
liquefied natural gas imports are down from 100 million cubic feet in 2007 to
under 20 million cubic feet in 2016.
US Coal
exports are down from 125,746 thousand short tons in 2012 to 14,153 thousand
short tons in 2016. US Coal
imports are down from 9,159 thousand short tons in 2012 to 2698 thousand short
tons in 2016.
We will
need to finish the oil pipeline and should build more liquid natural gas condensing
plants to take it out of the pipeline and ship it using liquid natural gas
tankers. Natural gas (methane) liquefies
at -260 degrees F.
Liquid
Petroleum or LP gas is ethane or propane and does not require low temperature
treatment. US exports are expected to
grow from 1 million barrels per day to 2 million barrels per day by 2040.
US oil
imports were down until oil prices dropped, because of fracking costs. Then US oil production fell and imports
increased.
Global
oil production is about 80 million barrels per day
Global
oil demand is about 97 million barrels per day
Global
oil supply is about 97.5 million barrels per day
US oil
production is about 10 million barrels per day
US oil
consumption is 19.4 million barrels per day
When oil
prices go over $50 per barrel, US oil production will increase. We have enough reserves to become a net
exporter of energy if oil settles at $60 per barrel. Trump says we are sitting
on $18 trillion in energy.
