OSTI ID:6515909
Current data and trends are presented for production, consumption, stocks, imports, exports, and prices for the principal energy commodities in oil, consumption of petroleum products, petroleum stocks, and production of electricity from nuclear power facilities. Energy production during 1981 totaled 64.9 quadrillion Btu, 0.6% below the 1980 level. Decreases in production occurred for petroleum (0.4%) and coal (2.4%). Natural gas production increased 0.2%, while other forms of energy production combined were up by 1.5%. During 1981, energy consumption totaled 73.9 quadrillion Btu, a 2.4% decrease compared to consumption during 1980. Decreases in the consumption of petroleum (6.2%) and natural gas (2.0%) contributed to the overall decline in energy consumption during this period. Coal consumption increased by 3.8% and consumption of other energy sources combined increased 2.4% over the 1980 level. Net imports of energy during 1981 totaled 9.5 quadrillion Btu, 22.0% below the level for 1980. By energy source, the decreases in net imports were petroleum (15.4%) and natural gas (11.4%). Other (net electricity and coal coke combined) increased 23.5%. Net exports of coal during 1981 were 23.5% higher than the 1980 level.
