Energy statistics. A supplement to the summary of national transportation statistics

Abstract

This annual report is a compendium of selected time-series data describing the transportation, production, processing, and consumption of energy. The statistics have been assembled from a wide variety of sources, including the U.S. Department of the Interior, the Interstate Commerce Commission, and the American Petroleum Institute. The report is divided into three main sections. The first, entitled ''Energy Transport,'' contains such items as the revenues and expenses of oil pipeline companies, number and capacities of U.S. tank ships, and the total crude oil transported in the U.S. by method of transportation. The second section, entitled ''Reserves, Production, and Refining,'' reveals the growth over time of the U.S. oil and natural gas reserves, refinery capacity, and yields. Trends in the demand for fuel and power are displayed in the third section, entitled ''Energy Consumption.'' Throughout this part, the transportation sector is emphasized. Included are the gasoline and oil costs of automobiles of different sizes, the consumption of petroleum by type of product, the electrical energy consumed by the local transit industry, and other important statistics describing the supply and demand for energy.
