 Would lower consumer fuel costs at the pump by $18 billion annually

 U.S. economy could gain $135 billion and about one million jobs at its peak

 Reduce nation’s oil import bill by $67 billion annually

 Increase government revenues by $1.3 trillion between 2016-2030

 Strengthen U.S. geopolitical position

More jobs & economic development would result from continued growth in U.S. oil production

 New abundance of light, low- tight oil production in the U.S.

 Offers tremendous economic and security benefits to the country

 Mismatch with U.S. refinery configuration presents a challenge

 Threatens to stunt tight oil development and its benefits to the U.S.

 U.S. crude exports provide a solution
