(Tue, 08 Dec 2020) As of December 28, 2020, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) will no longer support HTTP requests for our products. The <em>Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report</em> (WNGSR) and the <em>Weekly Petroleum Status Report</em> (WPSR) will change from HTTP to HTTPS web addresses to ensure the security and timeliness of these releases.

(Wed, 02 Dec 2020) <em>Modeling Distributed Generation in the Buildings Sectors</em> describes EIA’s approach to modeling distributed electricity generation for the <em>Annual Energy Outlook</em> (AEO) and discusses AEO2020 modeling results. The paper details EIA’s data sources and assumptions for historical capacity, costs, and government incentives and explains how EIA projects future capacity development and generation based on this information.

(Mon, 30 Nov 2020) Although one of the original five large oil-producing countries that created the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in 1960, Venezuela fell to the fourth-smallest producer among OPEC’s 13 members in 2019, ranked higher than only Congo-Brazzaville, Gabon, and Equatorial Guinea.

(Mon, 30 Nov 2020) Gabon is a mature oil producer in West Africa and among the top five oil producers in sub-Saharan Africa. Gabon enacted the 2019 Hydrocarbon Law to reinvigorate its oil market and support its 12th bidding round for the allocation of offshore blocks.

(Mon, 30 Nov 2020) Mexico is a major producer of petroleum and other liquids and is one of the largest providers of U.S. oil imports. Mexico’s oil production has declined since 2004, as has the country’s position as a net oil exporter.

(Fri, 13 Nov 2020) Although Yemen is not a major hydrocarbon producer relative to several other countries in the Middle East, the country has sufficient oil and natural gas resources for both domestic demand and exports. However, Yemen's difficult security environment hinders the production and transport of those resources.

(Thu, 12 Nov 2020) The Philippines is a net energy importer, even though its consumption levels are low relative to its Southeast Asian neighbors and it produces fossil fuels domestically. Renewable energy sources account for a significant share of electricity generation.

(Fri, 06 Nov 2020) South Korea relies on imports to meet nearly all of its fossil fuel consumption as a result of insufficient domestic resources. The country is one of the world’s leading energy importers and ranks among the world’s top five importers of liquefied natural gas (LNG), coal, and total petroleum liquids.

(Fri, 30 Oct 2020) Japan is the world's largest liquefied natural gas importer and ranks in the top five countries for the highest coal imports and consumption of crude oil and petroleum products. Japan is gradually bringing back nuclear power generation after a complete shutdown of the industry following the Fukushima accident, and the country continues to rely on fossil fuel imports to supply most of its energy needs.
