Today, President Biden will sign an Executive Order (E.O.) to ban the import of Russian oil, liquefied natural gas, and coal to the United States – a significant action with widespread bipartisan support that will further deprive President Putin of the economic resources he uses to continue his needless war of choice.

The MVP is scheduled to enter service in late 2021, delivering natural gas from producing regions in northwestern West Virginia to southern Virginia. However, natural gas production in Appalachia may be limited by pipeline constraints in 2021 if the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) is delayed. EIA forecasts the Henry Hub price will increase from $2.00 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) in 2020 to $3.01/MMBtu in 2021 and to $3.27/MMBtu in 2022, which will likely prompt an increase in Appalachia's natural gas production. Natural gas production from dry regions such as Appalachia depends on the Henry Hub price. As more new wells come online later in 2021, new well production will exceed the decline in legacy wells, driving the increase in overall crude oil production after the first quarter of 2021.Īssociated natural gas production from oil-directed wells in the Permian Basin will fall because of lower West Texas Intermediate crude oil prices and reduced drilling activity in the first quarter of 2021.

Lower 48 states to decline through the first quarter of 2021 and then increase through the rest of the forecast period. EIA expects crude oil production in the U.S. The fall in production will reverse in 2022, when EIA estimates that natural gas production will rise by 2% to 97.6 Bcf/d.ĮIA’s forecast for crude oil production is separated into three regions: the Lower 48 states excluding the Federal Gulf of Mexico (GOM) (81% of 2019 crude oil production), the GOM (15%), and Alaska (4%). marketed natural gas production will decline another 2% to average 95.9 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in 2021. In 2020, marketed natural gas production fell by 2% from 2019 levels amid responses to COVID-19. The increase in production led to higher volumes of natural gas in storage and a decrease in natural gas prices. The United States set annual natural gas production records in 20, largely because of increased drilling in shale and tight oil formations. EIA expects crude oil production to increase in 2022 by 0.4 million b/d because of increased drilling as prices remain at or near $50 per barrel (b). Responses to the COVID-19 pandemic led to supply and demand disruptions. A production decline in 2021 would mark the second consecutive year of production declines. crude oil production will average 11.1 million b/d in 2021, down 0.2 million b/d from 2020 as result of a decline in drilling activity related to low oil prices. Energy Information Administration (EIA) forecasts that annual U.S. In its January 2021 Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO)
