The Data-Planet repository includes many indicators related to oil production and prices in the United States, primarily sourced from the United States Energy Information Administration. Statistics range from the amount of crude oil production in the US, including offshore production, to the price of heating oil and gasoline by grade.
The data source, the Energy Information Administration (EIA), was created by Congress in 1977 and is an independent statistical and analytical agency within the United States Department of Energy. Its mission is to provide policy-independent data, forecasts, and analyses to promote sound policy making, efficient markets, and public understanding regarding energy and its interaction with the economy and the environment.
