OIL AND GAS FACTS
The current status of natural resources in United States is as following:

1.) 22 billion barrels proved reserve crude oil under the earth in USA. Potentially a $1540 billion crude oil industry (22 billion barrels of oil x $70 per barrel).

2.) 204 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserve that has not been drilled and produced in the United States. Potentially a $1.428 trillion natural gas industry (204 trillion cubic feet of gas x $7 per thousand cubic feet).

In addition to providing energy for the fast growing transportation needs, heating and manufacturing demands, many other products come from oil. Petrochemicals provide raw materials for such products as plastics, paint, makeup, aspirin, fabrics, toothpaste, perfume, insecticides, ink, dyes, automobile tires, glue, antiseptics, shampoo, food preservatives, asphalt, deodorant and surgical implants.

Fossil fuels, coal, oil and natural gas currently provide more than 85 percent energy consumed in the United States, nearly two-thirds of our electricity, and virtually all of our transportation fuels. Furthermore, it is likely that the nation's reliance on fossil fuels to power an expanding economy will actually increase over the next two decades even with aggressive development and deployment of new renewable and nuclear technologies. Oil and natural gas supply 63 percent of the energy used. 39 percent comes from oil and 24 percent from natural gas, while 23 percent comes from coal, 8 percent from nuclear energy, and 6 percent from renewable sources. (U.S. Department of Energy and Energy Information Administration; 2002 statistics)

In the next 20 years, according to calculations by the Energy Information Administration, our nation's demand for oil is expected to grow 30% and natural gas by more than 50%. While growth is expected our domestic production is declining. We currently produce nearly 40 percent less oil than we did in 1970. Unless drastic changes are made, production will continue to decline. The projection is just over five million barrels per day by 2020, down from a high of 9.4 million barrels per day 30 years ago. "Failure to meet this challenge may harm our prosperity, damage our national security, and may affect the way we live our daily lives." (IPAMS Wildcatter Weekly, Issue 13, 2001, 4/6/2001, Quoting Interior Secretary Gale Norton).

Oil and natural gas industry is also one of the world's largest industries. Its revenues are large, as are the costs of providing consumers with the energy they need. Among those costs are finding and producing oil and natural gas, refining, distributing and marketing those refined products. The energy Americans consume today is brought to us by investments made years or even decades ago. Today's oil and natural gas industry earnings are invested in new technology, new production and environment and product quality improvements to meet tomorrow's energy needs.

Oil industries operate on the petroleum market. Petroleum is vital to almost all industrial civilization, thus a critical concern to many nations. Oil accounts for a large percentage of the world's energy consumption, ranging from a low of 32% for Europe and Asia, up to a high of 53% for the Middle East. Other geographic regions' consumption patterns are as follows: South and Central America (44%), Africa (41%), and North America (40%). The world at large consumes 30 billion barrels (4.8 km³) of oil per year, and the top oil consumers largely consist of developed nations. In fact, 24% of the oil consumed in 2004 went to the United States alone. (www.enwikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_industry)
