Preliminary DOE petroleum data for 1981 indicate an average US production rate of 8.562 million barrels (bbl) per day (compared with 8.597 in 1980), a slight increase of 576 to 580 million barrels of natural gas liquids total production, and a slight decline in overall petroleum liquids from 3722 to 3705 million barrels. Wellhead prices rose from $21.19 to $31.77/bbl, while residential customers paid more per Btu for heating oil than for gas, but less than for electricity. Saudi Arabia and Nigeria have become the principal foreign suppliers; Canada and Venezuela were the largest suppliers in 1972 to 1974. The US continues to lower its share of world oil consumption. Other statistics compare reserves, sectoral consumption, import levels and costs, and refining costs. 3 figures, 8 tables. (DCK)
