According to the EIA (U.S. Energy Information Administration), recent growth in US crude oil production has been driven primarily by light, sweet crude oil, which is produced from tight resource formations such as the Permian, Eagle Ford, and Bakken Shales. Light, sweet crude oil accounted for almost 90% of the 3.1-million-barrel-per-day production growth that occurred between 2010 and 2017. In 2017, light, sweet crude oil accounted for 56% of total domestic crude oil production, and in the EIA’s Annual Energy Outlook 2018, we can see that this is expected to grow to 60% by 2020 and to 70% by 2050.
