(Mon, 07 Oct 2019) Canada has abundant and varied natural resources, ranking fourth in 2018 among the top energy producers of petroleum and total liquids in the world, behind only the United States, Saudi Arabia, and Russia. Relatively energy intensive compared with other industrialized countries, Canadaâs economy is fueled largely by petroleum and other liquids, natural gas, and hydroelectricity.
(Fri, 04 Oct 2019) Weekly estimates of natural gas storage capacity utilization published on October 3, 2019, show the United States is at least 80% full in the three regions with the most working gas capacityâEast, Midwest, and South Central non-salt, according to the latest EIA Natural Gas Storage Dashboard. These three regions accounted for more than 70% of the total working natural gas capacity in the Lower 48 states in 2018.
(Thu, 19 Sep 2019) The Drilled but Uncompleted Wells (DUCs) Supplement has been updated with the latest charts and methodology.
(Wed, 18 Sep 2019) Working natural gas stocks in the Pacific region totaled 275 billion cubic feet (Bcf) as of September 6, 2019, according to the latest EIA <em>Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report</em> (WNGSR). Pacific region working natural gas inventories are now just 28 Bcf lower than the five-year average and 26 Bcf higher than the year-ago level. The deficit to the five-year average reached a recent low of 19 Bcf, during the week ending August 23â the smallest in the region since May 5, 2017.
(Fri, 13 Sep 2019) The U.S. Energy Information Administration released its annual biodiesel production capacity report. The new report contains data for all operating U.S. biodiesel plants as of January 1, 2019.
(Wed, 21 Aug 2019) EIA launched a beta release of its new <em>Hourly Electric Grid Monitor</em>, a redesigned and enhanced version of the existing <em>U.S. Electric System Operating Data</em> website. The data come from Form EIA-930, <em>Hourly and Daily Balancing Authority Operations Report</em>, which collects hourly electricity demand, forecast demand, net generation, and interchange data from the electricity balancing authorities that operate the electric grid in the Lower 48 states.
(Wed, 21 Aug 2019) In 2008 EIA began collecting the commodity cost of all coal delivered to power plants with a combined nameplate capacity of 50 megawatts or greater on the Form EIA-923, âPower Plant Operations Report.â Since EIA already collected delivered cost for the same shipments, a proxy for transportation cost is be calculated by subtracting one from the other.
(Tue, 20 Aug 2019) The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) earned almost $711 billion in net oil export revenue in 2018; however, EIA forecasts annual OPEC net oil export revenue will decline to $593 billion in 2019 and to $556 billion in 2020 as a result of decreasing production among a number of OPEC producers.
(Fri, 02 Aug 2019) EIAâs new <em>State Energy Portal</em> is a complementary tool for New England Dashboard users to access state-level information. The New England Dashboard focuses mostly on regional data. The new portal provides direct access to all state-level U.S. energy data with interactive, customizable views of more than 150 charts, tables, and maps. EIA integrated all data, analysis, maps, and rankings from the existing State Energy Profiles into the new portal.
(Thu, 18 Jul 2019) The U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) weekly estimates of natural gas storage capacity utilization published on July 12, 2019, exceed 50% in all regions for the second straight week. EIA updates estimates of underground storage capacity utilization by region each week in the Natural Gas Storage Dashboard. EIA created this metric to help analysts easily assess how full natural gas storage stocks are by region. The utilization estimate measures the weekly volume of working gas in a region compared with the amount of working gas capacity in a region.
