Permian Leads U.S. in Crude Growth as Pipelines Struggle to Keep Up

SUGAR LAND--February 8, 2018--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The U.S. has added 1 million barrels per day (BBL/d) of crude oil production in the past year, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), and the Permian Basin accounts for 70% of that growth. As production grows, developers need pipelines to move their product to market. While pipeline construction cannot be precisely synchronized with increased production, the announced projects reflect confidence among producers that development will continue in the Permian region.
