The United States continued to produce more energy than it consumed in 2024. This surplus energy production helped energy exports<\/a> grow to a record high 30.9 quadrillion British thermal units (quads) in 2024, up 4% from 2023. Energy imports<\/a> stayed flat at 21.7 quads in 2024, meaning the United States exported 9.3 quads more energy than it imported, the highest net exports in our records, which date back to 1949<\/a>. <\/p>\n

We forecast U.S. ethane exports will decrease by 80,000 barrels per day (b\/d) this year and by 177,000 b\/d in 2026 in our June Short-Term Energy Outlook<\/a> because of new licensing requirements<\/a> for U.S. exports of ethane to China. Any policy changes that relax licensing requirements, such as the outcome of trade negotiations between the United States and China, would lead us to increase our forecasts for U.S. ethane exports again. <\/p>\n

The Strait of Hormuz, located between Oman and Iran, connects the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. The strait is deep enough and wide enough to handle the world’s largest crude oil tankers, and it is one of the world’s most important oil chokepoints. Large volumes of oil flow through the strait, and very few alternative options exist to move oil out of the strait if it is closed. In 2024, oil flow through the strait averaged 20 million barrels per day (b\/d), or the equivalent of about 20% of global petroleum liquids consumption. In the first quarter of 2025, total oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz remained relatively flat compared with 2024. <\/p>\n

Underground working natural gas<\/a> storage capacity in the Lower 48 states increased in 2024 according to our latest data<\/a>. We calculate natural gas storage capacity in two ways: demonstrated peak capacity and working gas design capacity. Both increased in 2024. Underground natural gas storage provides a source of energy when demand increases, balancing U.S. energy needs. In 2024, demonstrated peak capacity rose 1.7%, or 70 billion cubic feet (Bcf), to 4,277 Bcf, while working gas design capacity increased slightly by 0.1%, or 3 Bcf.\t <\/p>\n

Although electricity generators fueled by natural gas have provided more electricity<\/a> in the United States than any other source since 2016, hardly any new natural gas capacity came online last year. <\/p>\n

U.S. total energy production<\/a> was more than 103 quadrillion British thermal units<\/a> in 2024, a 1% increase from the previous record set in 2023.

We forecast crude oil production in the Federal Offshore Gulf of America (GOA) will average 1.80 million barrels per day (b\/d) in 2025 and 1.81 million b\/d in 2026, compared with 1.77 million b\/d in 2024, in our most recent Short-Term Energy Outlook<\/a> (STEO). We expect GOA natural gas production to average 1.72 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf\/d) in 2025 and 1.64 Bcf\/d in 2026, compared with 1.79 Bcf\/d in 2024. At these volumes, the GOA is forecast to contribute about 13% of U.S. crude oil production and 1% of U.S. marketed natural gas production in 2025 and 2026. <\/p>\n

U.S. production of renewable diesel and biodiesel fell sharply in the first quarter of 2025 (1Q25) because of uncertainty related to federal biofuel tax credits and negative profit margins. We forecast production of both fuels to increase as the year progresses but biodiesel production to remain less than in 2024. <\/p>\n

Onshore crude oil production in the U.S. Lower 48 states (L48) has more than tripled since January 2010, driven by tight oil production growth in the Permian region. Onshore crude oil production is made up of both legacy oil production, primarily from vertically drilled wells, and newer tight oil<\/a> production, primarily from horizontally drilled wells. <\/p>\n

Among those categories, hybrid electric vehicles have continued to gain market share while battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles have remained relatively flat, according to estimates from Wards Intelligence. <\/p>\n

The retail price for regular-grade gasoline in the United States on May 19, the Monday before Memorial Day weekend, averaged $3.17 per gallon (gal), 11% (or 41 cents\/gal) lower than the price a year ago. After adjusting for inflation (real terms), average U.S. retail gasoline prices going into Memorial Day weekend are 14% lower than last year, largely because crude oil prices have fallen. <\/p>\n

China has a major role at each stage of the global battery supply chain and dominates interregional trade of minerals. China imported almost 12 million short tons of raw and processed battery minerals, accounting for 44% of interregional trade, and exported almost 11 million short tons of battery materials, packs, and components, or 58% of interregional trade in 2023, according to regional UN Comtrade data<\/a>. <\/p>\n
