The United States is now the world’s biggest crude oil producer, pushing Russia and Saudi Arabia to the back seat.
In the week ending November, the U.S. crude production hit a whopping 11.6 million bpd, according to Energy Information Administration (EIA) data released on Wednesday.
That’s a threefold increase from the U.S. low reached a decade ago, and a 22.2 percent rise just this year. It makes the United States the world’s biggest producer of crude.
Russia pumps an average of 10.8million bpd and Saudi Arabia, about 10.5million bpd.
More U.S. oil will likely come. The EIA expects output to break through 12 million bpd by mid-2019, largely thanks to a surge in shale oil production.
Adapting to a new country, league and culture at 19 is a daunting challenge for any player, but fortunately for Arsenal starlet Matteo Guendouzi, help is at hand.
The Frenchman was a surprise signing by Unai Emery after he took charge at the Emirates this past summer, although evidently the Spanish tactician saw something in the talented youngster during his spell at Paris Saint-Germain.
Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck went off injured early on in tonight’s Europa League clash with Sporting Lisbon with what looked a really nasty leg problem.
The England international was treated on the pitch for several minutes as his team-mates looked disturbed by what they’d seen, with Matteo Guendouzi seeming to have been particularly shaken.
Nigerian officials will go on a roadshow to London next week ahead of a planned $2.8 billion Eurobond sale this month, two banking sources told Reuters on Thursday.

Manchester United enjoyed one of their most memorable nights in recent years after beating a heavily favoured Juventus side in Turin.
The Italian giants entered the tie as overwhelming favourites having beaten United in Manchester only two weeks prior.
However, Jose Mourinho’s side were not to be rolled over, securing a remarkable come-from-behind win against one of the favourites to lift the European cup this season.
The Red Devils looked to be in a spot of bother when Cristiano Ronaldo lashed home a brilliant volley in the second half but they roared back with two late goals.
Juan Mata slotted home delightfully from a free-kick before Alex Sandro put through his own net to hand United the win late-on.
There was plenty of controversy following the game after Mourinho taunted took to the pitch to taunt the Juventus faithful.
What seems to have irked United fans the most however, were Ronaldo’s bitter post-match comments in which he claimed United did not deserve the three points.
“I was happy for the goal but I am a little bit disappointed,” Ronaldo told Viasport.
“We should’ve won the game easily. Three, four goals. And Manchester didn’t do much, in my opinion.
“They create two chances, set-pieces, they know the English teams, they are always looking for the set-pieces but we will learn from our mistakes and we are still top of the group.”
United fans were quick to lay into their former superstar calling for him to “wind his neck in” - to put it gently.
And now it seems that even some of the United players have jumped on the bandwagon after Jesse Lingard posted a photo on Instagram poking fun at Ronaldo’s goal celebration.
The Portuguese superstar wheeled away before revealing and highlighting his rather impressive set of abs.
However, after Juve slumped to a loss, Lingard felt confident enough to fire his own kind of volley Ronaldo’s way.
Unsurprisingly, it looks like the United players are revelling in their Turin victory.
While his social media game might be strong, Lingard still has a bit of work to do before he can match Ronaldo in terms of footballing ability.
Perhaps it’s not worth poking the bear, but for now at least, it makes for a funny Instagram post.
A little boy suffered an extreme brutality from his dad, yesterday, in Okigwe, Imo State, for allegedly being too stubborn.
According to Izuogu Rowland, an eyewitness, the boy had left home without informing anyone of his whereabouts, prompting a frantic search for him.
When he was eventually found, his dad flogged him, mercilessly, before using a razor blade to cut one of his ears. He was, however, later rescued and take to a hospital for treatment.
