This report presents the US exploration and production (E&P) results for the five-year period from 2014 through 2018 for the 50 largest companies based on 2018 end-of-year US oil and gas reserve estimates. The study companies cover approximately 42% of the US combined oil and gas production for 2018 (44% for 2017). Activities related to acquisitions have also been reflected as described in the appendix. Study companies Due to the significance of the oil and gas reserves attributable to the study companies, the results of these companies are generally representative of the US E&P industry as a whole. Total US production is fast approaching a leading global position, giving this study’s findings an impact beyond the US borders, but it should be noted that results for these companies and for the E&P industry as a whole may be significantly different in other regions of the world.
