#1 No question mark needed.

The number of wells drilled is about double what it was three years ago and production (now over 300k barrels/day) is about triple what it was then.

New wells need to be drilled frequently since production from a given well decreases sharply after a year or so.

Lots of detail available from the State Dept of Mineral Resources.

#5 Doctor Steve: you do know that "watermelon" in this instance (used by AC) refers to "green on the outside, red on the inside", i.e.: Ecofascists/Commies, and not a racial thing?

#6 It's worse than that AH9418.
U.S. Crude Oil and Products Imports:
2005 - 13.714 Mbbl/day
2006 - 13.707 Mbbl/day
2007 - 13.468 Mbbl/day
2008 - 12.915 Mbbl/day
2009 - 11.691 Mbbl/day

Funny how cratering the economy and pocketbooks decreases the demand for oil.

#8 It's worse than that.. I was trying to get a figure for 'net imports.' According to this, the US exported 2.3 million barrels A DAY of crude & refined petro products for the first 11 months of last year.
