得益于创纪录的天然气产量和温和的冬季气候，美国能源总产量在 2023 年创下新高，而总体消费量则同时下降。

结果是生产量和消费量之间的差距达到 9 千万亿英热单位 (quad)，这是自 1949 年以来最大的差距 — — 有记录以来的最长差距。总生产量为 103 千万亿英热单位，而总消费量为 94 千万亿英热单位。

2023 年，干天然气产量比上年增长 4%，达到创纪录的 39 万亿吨，十年来增长了 58%。原油产量达到 27 万亿吨，再创纪录，比 2022 年增长了 9%。自 2013 年以来，NGL 产量增长了 143%，去年达到 8 万亿吨。

Thanks to record levels of natural gas production and mild winter months, total U.S. energy production hit a new high in 2023, while overall consumption fell at the same time.

The result was a gap between production and consumption of 9 quadrillion Btus (quads), the biggest gap since 1949 — the furthest back that records go. Total energy produced amounted to 103 quads, while total consumption came in at 94 quads.

In 2023, dry natural gas production grew 4% from the year before to a record 39 quads, a 58% increase over a decade. Crude oil production reached 27 quads, another record, after growing 9% from 2022. NGL production has increased 143% since 2013 and amounted to 8 quads last year.
