Daily Energy Insider reported: An American Petroleum Institute (API) report released last week showed a 265 percent increase in estimated exploratory gas well completions as compared to the second quarter of 2017. API officials said the report demonstrates continued growth and strength of the nation’s energy production. “Right now, the U.S. production is supplying substantially all the growth in oil demand throughout the world,” Dean Foreman, API chief economist, said. “For this growth and dominance to continue, our energy infrastructure must keep pace with production, especially in areas like the Permian Basin in Texas and the Bakken in North Dakota, that have experienced major growth in natural gas and oil production.” For more on this story visit dailyenergyinsider.com or click https://bit.ly/2uux3lP
