For instance, North America has over 3 trillion barrels of shale oil reserves, [citation needed] and the majority of oil produced in the US is from shale, leading to the paradoxical data below that the US will finish all its oil at 2024 production levels in 10 years.)
In 2012 the oil production of the US increased by 800,000 barrels per day, the highest ever recorded increase in one year since oil drilling began in 1859. [9] In April 2013, US crude production was at a more than 20-year high, aided by the shale gas and tight oil boom; with production near 7.2 million barrels per day. [10]
Commercial crude oil stock pile. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) is an emergency stockpile of petroleum maintained by the United States Department of Energy (DOE).

A map of world oil production (2013) Oil-producing countries (information from 2006 to 2012) This article includes a chart representing proven reserves, production, consumption, exports and imports of oil by country.
However, under current rules, oil can only be pumped from the reserve at a maximum rate of “4.4 million barrels per day for up to 90 days,” according to the Department of Energy. Student loan ...
Oil and gas reserves denote discovered quantities of crude oil and natural gas (oil or gas fields) that can be profitably produced/recovered from an approved development. Oil and gas reserves tied to approved operational plans filed on the day of reserves reporting are also sensitive to fluctuating global market pricing.
