Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN, Texas – Texas’ energy exports and production of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) have achieved new record highs, according to the most recent monthly energy economic analysis by Texas Oil & Gas Association (TXOGA) Chief Economist Dean Foreman, Ph.D.
“The Lone Star State’s oil and natural gas industry is not only producing more, but doing so with unmatched efficiency,” said TXOGA President Todd Staples. “These latest numbers further reinforce the industry’s ongoing commitment to utilizing the latest technologies and innovations to produce abundant, affordable, and reliable energy.”
“Texas’ continued record-setting performance reflects remarkable rig productivity gains, which the EIA estimates have exceeded 20 percent year-over-year among the major producing basins,” said Dr. Foreman. “This has not only propelled Texas’ production to record highs for crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, but also helped sustain highs in nationwide production.”
These achievements underscore Texas’ dominant position in the U.S. energy market and ongoing contributions to national energy security.
