I've been reading articles re the usa BECOMING the leading oil producer as early as this year and then i found this new article which indicates the usa ALREADY was the highest oil producer -and by far- by last year and the year before

what am I missing? must include nat gas at 8 units of etwas per barrel of oil

Production: 15,599,000 bpd
