On October 4, 2013, the Energy Information Administration
announced estimates that the United States will top Russia and Saudi Arabia in
hydrocarbon production for 2013. The EIA study showed that American natural gas
production increased by 3 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu) since 2008.
It attributes a large percentage of this growth to development in the Marcellus
shale. The study also showed that American petroleum production increased 7
quadrillion Btu since 2008.

Administration.
