Aren’t oil companies drilling at record levels now?
Not drilling at record levels, but PRODUCING at record levels, yes. Efficiency with shale has gotten to the point there’s no need to have the number of rigs working that we did several decades ago.
The technological advances, along with legislation passed in 2015, is a big reason why we’ve been a net “total petroleum products” exporter since, I think, sometime in 2019.
