OTHER RELEASES THIS WEEK:

Proved reserves of crude oil and natural gas in the United States up sharply in 2011 (08/01/2013)
U.S. proved crude oil reserve additions in 2011 set a record volumetric increase for the second year in a row, according to newly published estimates in EIA's U.S. Crude Oil and Natural Gas Proved Reserves, 2011. Natural gas proved reserve additions fell short of setting a record, but still ranked as the second largest annual increase since 1977. Crude oil reserves rose 15% to the highest level since 1985, and natural gas reserves were up almost 10%.

Petroleum Marketing Monthly (08/01/2013)
In the latest edition of the Petroleum Marketing Monthly, preliminary May 2013 data show crude oil and gasoline prices trending upwards, while distillate prices continued to fall. Prime Supplier data show another modest month-on-month increase in U.S. gasoline consumption, while consumption of ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel saw a slight decrease.

U.S. Crude Oil and Natural Gas Proved Reserves, 2011 (08/01/2013)
New data show record growth in U.S. crude oil reserves and strong natural gas reserve additions in 2011. Crude oil reserves rose by 15 percent in 2011 to highest level since 1985. Natural gas reserves rose by almost 10 percent.

Egypt Country Analysis Brief (07/31/2013)
Egypt is the largest oil producer in Africa that is not a member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), and the second largest natural gas producer on the continent, following Algeria. The country plays a vital role in international energy markets through the operation of the Suez Canal and Suez-Mediterranean (SUMED) Pipeline. The Suez Canal is an important transit route for oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipments traveling northbound from the Persian Gulf to Europe and North America and southbound shipments from North Africa and countries along the Mediterranean Sea to Asia. In 2012, about 2.97 million bbl/d of total oil (crude oil and refined products) transited the Suez Canal in both directions, the highest amount ever shipped through the Canal.

Monthly Natural Gas Gross Production Report (07/31/2013)
Monthly natural gas gross withdrawals estimated from data collected on Form EIA-914 (Monthly Natural Gas Production Report) for Federal Offshore Gulf of Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, Wyoming, Other States and Lower 48 States. Alaska data are from the State of Alaska and included to obtain a U.S. Total.

Natural Gas Monthly (07/31/2013)
The July Natural Gas Monthly, with data through May 2013, has been released. • Dry gas production for May 2013 was 2,051 billion cubic feet (Bcf) or 66.2 Bcf/day, slight increase from last May's 2,034 Bcf, or 65.6 Bcf/day. Year-to-date dry production for 2013 is now on track to exceed 2012's record high for a calendar year. • Total consumption of natural gas for May 2013 was 1,740 Bcf, the second highest consumption on record for the month, a slight decrease from last May's record-setting 1,871 Bcf. • Owing to sustained higher spot prices of natural gas, deliveries to the electric power sector for May dropped to 615 Bcf from last May's record high of 817 Bcf, a year-on-year decrease of nearly 25 percent.

U.S. biodiesel production reached a record level in May 2013 (07/31/2013)
U.S. biodiesel production in May 2013 reached a record level of 111 million gallons, according to data released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) on July 30.

Monthly Biodiesel Production Report (07/30/2013)
The U.S. Energy Information Administration released new data today showing national and regional monthly biodiesel production for May 2013. In addition to biodiesel production, data included producer sales, producer stocks, and feedstock inputs.

Company Level Imports (07/30/2013)
Imports data at the company level collected from the EIA-814 Monthly Imports Report.

New infrastructure boosts West Virginia, southern Pennsylvania natural gas production (07/30/2013)
A notable increase since early 2012 in natural gas production in West Virginia and nearby counties in southern Pennsylvania continued through July 2013. Although producers have increasingly shifted their attention to more liquids-rich shale gas in the wet gas regions of these states, production in the dry gas regions has benefitted from the addition of infrastructure, improving takeaway capacity from their gas fields.

Petroleum Supply Monthly (07/30/2013)
Supply and disposition of crude oil and petroleum products on a national and regional level. The data series describe production, imports and exports, movements and inventories.

Natural gas liquids prices trend down since the start of 2012 (07/29/2013)
Daily spot prices for natural gas liquids (NGL)—ethane, propane, normal butane, isobutane, and natural gasoline—have moderated because of a combination of ample supply, flat or moderating demand, export constraints, and domestic infrastructure constraints.

Coal market fundamentals changed, yet spot prices remained stable (07/26/2013)
While coal market fundamentals changed in first-half 2013 compared with the same period of 2012, spot prices remained largely unchanged. Demand for coal was higher and supply was lower in first-half 2013, but because electric companies chose to burn off large inventories instead of buying more coal and because international coal prices were weaker, the spot market remained largely unchanged.

Monthly Energy Review (07/26/2013)
EIA's most comprehensive report on recent integrated energy statistics. Preliminary data indicate that in April 2013, U.S. net imports of energy totaled 1.1 quadrillion Btu, a 5-percent decrease from the April 2012 level.

International Energy Outlook 2013 - Highlights (07/25/2013)
Over the next three decades, world energy consumption is projected to increase by 56 percent, driven by growth in the developing world, according to International Energy Outlook 2013 (IEO2013), released today by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). IEO2013 presents updated projections for world energy markets through 2040. The IEO2013 Reference case projection does not incorporate prospective legislation or policies that might affect energy markets.

EIA projects world energy consumption will increase 56% by 2040 (07/25/2013)
EIA's recently released International Energy Outlook 2013 (IEO2013) projects that world energy consumption will grow by 56% between 2010 and 2040, from 524 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu) to 820 quadrillion Btu. Most of this growth will come from non-OECD (non-Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) countries, where demand is driven by strong economic growth.

Electricity Wholesale Market Data (07/25/2013)
Spreadsheets contain peak prices, volumes, and the number of transactions at ten electricity trading hubs covering most regions of the United States. Data from ICE (IntercontinentalExchange) through July 19, 2013.
