Last week Jack Gerard, CEO of the American Petroleum Institute, told a House energy panel the nation has vast energy resources that aren't being fully tapped. New leasing on federal lands is down by 44 percent, and the number of new wells drilled is down 39 percent, Gerard said. Gerard was highly critical of president Obama's call to end tax breaks and government subsidies for the oil and gas industry that average about $4 billion a year. While President Barack Obama calls for "all-of-the-above" energy approach, he has threatened the oil and gas industry with billions of dollars in tax increases, Gerard said.

In recent years, North Dakota has become a hotbed for U.S. oil drilling. Earlier this year North Dakota overtook California as the third-largest U.S. oil-producing state, as fracking technology boosted shale oil output. Data from the North Dakota Industrial Commission showed the state's January oil output rose to 546,050 barrels per day (bpd), up 59.2 percent from a year earlier, after output in the Midwest state's Bakken and Three Forks shale prospects rose some 11,000 bpd to a record 480,700 bpd.
California's oil production has declined over the past few years and was an average 14,000 bpd lower in 2011 compared with the previous year.
