Surging U.S. Crude Oil Production Boosts Fortunes of Energy Firms
Surging output from U.S. shale formations has boosted total crude oil production to a record high of nearly 10.7 million barrels a day (MM bbl/d), according to the U.S Energy Information Administration (EIA), making the U.S. the largest oil producer in the world. In February U.S. crude oil production exceeded that of Saudi Arabia for the first time in more than two decades at a moment when that country was negotiating production quotas with Russia.

The gains were partially offset by a decline due to concerns about how trade wars will impact global demand. Overall, US crude oil rose 1.8% and ended the week at $69 per barrel. On the other hand, US natural gas fell 0.3% and ended the week at $2.77 per MMBtu (million British thermal units).
