Just take the global oil and gas mergers and acquisitions in 2014, valued at $3.2 trillion. Even at current lowered crude prices of $63 per barrel, the 1.7 trillion proven reserves alone have a value of $107 trillion - versus a global real GDP of $72 trillion. How much oil is consumed in the United States? Only a small amount of crude oil is directly consumed in the United States. Nearly all of the crude oil that is produced in or imported into the United States is refined into petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, heating oil, and jet fuel, which are then consumed. Worldwide crude oil prices will average $64 a barrel in the second half of 2019 and $65/b in 2020. That's according to the Short-term Energy Outlook by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. It's the same as the EIA's forecast last month. Let’s go into detail about the amount of oil that three of these ten countries is responsible for producing, starting with the USA. We’ll talk about China, which is the fifth highest oil producer in the world, and then go into conversation about Kuwait, the country the tenth highest oil production rates to date. OPEC is a group that includes some of the world's most oil-rich countries. Together, these countries control about 72% of the world's total proved crude oil reserves, and in 2018 they accounted for about 42% of total world crude oil production. Each OPEC country has at least one NOC, but most also allow IOCs to operate within their borders.

U.S. net petroleum and petroleum product imports fell to the lowest level on record, and on the current trajectory, they could fall to zero in 2020

U.S. net petroleum and petroleum product imports fell to the lowest level on record, and on the current trajectory, they could fall to zero in 2020 The oil industry is one of the most powerful branches in the world economy. More than four billion metric tons of oil is produced worldwide annually. Nearly one third of this amount is generated Crude oil slumped to its lowest since 2016 on Monday as the coronavirus pandemic continued to weigh on global demand amid a price war between OPEC and its allies that's boosting supply.
The world keeps consuming more oil. That's not a surprise, but one unconventional look at the numbers gives you a better idea of the dramatic extent of the global demand. World consumption has been on a steady rise for decades and neared 94 million barrels a day in 2014. Just take the global oil and gas mergers and acquisitions in 2014, valued at $3.2 trillion.

To put that in perspective, the Prudhoe Bay formation in Alaska—the largest producing oil field in North America to date—has only produced roughly 12 billion barrels of oil in the past 43 years. The East Texas Field, which is the biggest producing oil field in the lower 48 states,
