Domestic production and consumption were outpaced by US demand toward the late 1960s, and Middle Eastern nations gained a significant amount of political leverage in controlling prices based on their production. [24] Price increases have been directly related to increased investment and subsequent oil production.
In 1970, local peak production was 10,044 million bbl (1,597 million m 3) per day in November 1970. [8] Total production of crude oil from 1970 through 2006 was 102 billion barrels (16.2 × 10 ^ 9 m 3), or roughly five and a half times the proved reserves over the same timeframe when taking into account the decreasing proved reserves.
Total imports peaked in 2005, when they represented 30% of total consumption. A consistent decline occurred over the next 15 years, as oil production doubled and domestic use receded. This allowed the United States to be a net exporter of energy for the first time in 70 years. As of 2021, the US net exports 3.9% of energy production. [18]

In 1956, Hubbert proposed that fossil fuel production in a given region over time would follow a roughly bell-shaped curve without giving a precise formula; he later used the Hubbert curve, the derivative of the logistic curve, [6] [7] for ...
