The Oil Drum

The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) puts out a lot of data. Even for the United States, the amount of data is overwhelming. To get an overview, I have prepared some graphs showing information I find interesting, and occasionally somewhat alarming. I include links to the underlying data, so those who are good with Excel can find data to make their own graphs.

1. EIA reports show oil production on a "total liquids" basis. What does this include for the United States?
