Recent U.S. Department of Energy data indicate that 1982 U.S. crude petroleum production was 3157 million bbl - an average of 8.649 million bbl/day. This compares favorably with 1981 production of 3129 million bbl (8.572 million bbl/day). Natural gas liquids produced at gas processing plants decreased from 587 million bbl in 1981 to 566 million bbl in 1982. Alaska has been an important producer in recent years: 1.696 million bbl/day 1982. The increase in Alaskan production was due to production of about 80000 bbl/day from the Kuparuk field. Most of it was transported via th Alyeska pipeline. Some of the Lower 48 States also showed production increases, although overall, Lower 48 production has been dropping for some time. It amounted to 9.010 million bbl/day in 1973, 6.963 million bbl/day in 1981, and only 6.953 million bbl/day in 1982. Total oil imports of crude and products in 1982 amounted to 1866 million bbl (5.113 million bbl/day), including oil for the strategic petroleum reserve (SPR). Crude oil imports, excluding the SPR, decreased from 2355 million bbl in 1979 to 1213 million bbl in 1982. Refined products imports also have declined in recent years from 800 million bbl in 1977 to 593 million bbl in 1982. The cost of crude petroleum imports has been assessed at $62.7 billion (c.i.f. value basis) for 1982; this is down from the 1981 figure of $79.7 billion.
