SAFE’s Energy Security Fact Pack provides a data-driven overview of the latest trends in U.S. energy security, including domestic and global oil production and consumption, oil market dynamics, energy prices, consumer spending on oil, fuel efficiency, and alternative fuel vehicles.

1 QUARTER SUMMARY Q3 2016: Energy in the Election

• Despite its relevance to U.S. economic productivity and national security, energy has been largely sidelined in the 2016 presidential election. However, expect energy to remain at the fore in the upcoming presidential term. Critical issues include the mid-term review of fuel economy standards, regulation of drilling on federal lands and the potential opening of new territories for offshore drilling, regulation of methane emissions from , pipeline approvals, federal support for energy R&D, regulation of autonomous vehicles, and much more. • ‘Charts of the Quarter’ highlight historical prices on election day, crude oil production during previous presidential administrations, and other topics: • Despite the recent surge in domestic oil production and lower net imports, the United States is not “energy independent.” The country remains reliant on large volumes of crude oil and refined products whose prices are set in a global market [Pages 4, 5 & 6]. This market is subject to unpredictable—and sometimes anti-competitive—behavior from oil-producing countries that supply it, most notably OPEC members [Page 10]. • Most oil and natural gas resources on federal lands remain off-limits for development by government restriction [Page 7]. • The decline in oil prices has stressed the energy sector. More than 187,000 oil and natural gas jobs have been lost since employment peaked in late 2014 [Page 8]. • Reducing the energy intensity of the U.S. economy through improvements in efficiency and use of alternative fuels in the transportation sector will strengthen resilience to oil price volatility and increase U.S. energy security [Page 9].

3 3 CHARTS OF THE QUARTER U.S. Crude Oil Production by Presidential Administration

Crude oil production in the United States began in Pennsylvania in 1859. It increased initially through 1970 before beginning more than three decades of gradual decline in the mid-1980s. It increased once again with the onset of the shale oil revolution in 2009.

Although U.S. net oil imports have fallen 60% since 2005, the country remains reliant on imported oil. In Q3, net imports rose to 5.0 mbd (+0.2 mbd, or roughly 4%, year-over-year (y-o- y)). The United States became a net exporter of products in 2011.
