Energy Export Databrowser Updated to BP 2013 data
The Energy Export Databrowser has been updated to the latest version of the BP Statistical Review. A few charts are provided below the fold that help illuminate the following stories evident in the data:
- The US is less reliant on imports from across the globe
- UK energy production from all sources continues its decline
- Brazil is unlikely to become a major oil exporter
The databrowser is available in the following languages:
Deutsch English Español Français Italiano Nederlands Svensk
Happy Exploring!
A few of the stories found in the data include:
1) The US is less reliant on imports from across the globe
North American oil production (including natural gas liquids) is up while consumption is steady, leading to reduced imports from overseas. Individual components include
- Increased production of Canadian tar sands.
- Increased production of US tight oil and gas.
- Minimal declines in Mexican oil fields.
- Reduced consumption in the US.
2) UK energy production from all sources continues its decline
Excluding alternative fuels, the United Kingdom now produces only 40% of the energy it did in 2000. This is energy poverty on a national scale!
3) Brazil is unlikely to become a major oil exporter
Despite the hoopla a few years a go about Brazil’s offshore, sub-salt discoveries, Brazil looks unlikely to become an oil exporter any time soon.

Interesting take away that the UK squandered its North Sea oil even faster than Mexico has with its own oil yes?
During that whole period, the UK was ramping up its, population and converting useful oil, into less and useful pieces of paper. And what do they have to show for it now? An overcrowded welfare state with an outsourced industry and a Wall St. style vampire financial sector. An no prospects for anything other than find a few minor spots they missed the first go around. Which at best, will slow the decline by the smallest of increments.
If anyone still thinks they can ‘drill’ their way to prosperity, take a look at Britain, 1980-present.
