Fracking spurs crude production to its highest level since 1986. This graph makes that milestone look even more impressive.

Weekly oil production hit a level last week that hasn’t been seen since the 1980s. The American shale boom rolls on.

Gas utilities are pleased as punch to see an oversupply of shale gas depressing domestic prices, as they’ve struggled to refill storage capacities in the wake of last year’s historically cold winter.
