    On July 7, the U.
    S.
    Energy Information Administration (EIA) said on Wednesday that US crude oil production in 2021 is expected to decrease by 210,000 barrels per day to 11.
    1 million barrels per day, which is lower than the previously expected 230,000 barrels per day
    .


    EIA said that if the current higher oil prices remain unchanged, drilling activities in the United States may accelerate by the end of this year and steadily climb to 2022
    .


    Driven by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies, namely OPEC's production restrictions, oil prices rebounded to their highest level in about three years
    .
    This may prompt some U.
    S.
    producers to increase drilling activities, and the total number of wells in June has increased for the 11th consecutive month
    .


    EIA said that if WTI crude oil prices remain above $60/barrel, this situation will change
    .
    In the past, the price level of $60/barrel indicated that the activities of US operators were very active
    .


    EIA said that because the change in the number of rigs usually lags behind WTI prices by 3-6 months, and the output lags behind the number of rigs by 2 months, the output may not increase before the end of this year
    .


      EIA predicts that US crude oil production in the third quarter will average 11.
    2 million barrels per day, and thereafter steadily increase, from 11.
    3 million barrels per day in the fourth quarter of 2021 to 12.
    2 million barrels per day in the fourth quarter of 2022
    .


      The report predicts that the average US oil production in 2021 will be 11.
    1 million barrels per day and 11.
    85 million barrels per day in 2022
