Texas Oil Production Rise Spurs Market Expectation
Texas plans to produce about 1.5 million barrels daily next month, 100000 above the state bureau of mines’ Texas suggestion and near the national 3462900 target. National output last week ran about 3580000 barrels daily, while California New Mexico and Michigan exceeded their bureau estimates by more than 10 percent. Ernest O Thompson notes August demand is strong and Texas’ rise should not greatly shift prices, as interstate oil compact members expect a two year pact extension before adjournment.
