While other states have recently seen a boom, Texas still remains the epicenter of the U.S. oil industry, with 27 operable refineries, more than any state. In fact, these numbers are impressive not only on a national scale: if Texas was an independent country, it would easily become the sixth largest oil producer on the planet.
Texas produced 1.2 billion barrels of oil in 2014, which accounted for 36% of total U.S. output, and the state has almost one-third of all proven oil reserves with 10.5 billion barrels.
Scott Wright, restrictions happen because greedy corporations can't manage to resist doing any adverse actions to people or the environment. All in the name of the almighty dollar.
Ben Totuous restrictions happen becsuse nut jobs took over the EPA who have no business being in it. One of Obama's appointees even bragged that they destroy businesses just to put fear into other businesses hearts in the same manner that Romans used to ride into a new town and crucify the first 3 men they saw. They are also inept. Blowing open a mine high up in the mountains of Colorado which poisoned a massive amount of streams and rivers. Then they high fived each other bragging that they would get billions of dollars for clean up they could play with. Nothing more dangerous than a stinking leftist.
If they would take the restrictions off North Dakota would put the middle east out of business and send em back to the dunes where they were before we showed em how to get it outta the ground!

Gaetano Guttadauro... Yes, Dumbya stands alone as the worst ever. Trump could outdo him. Lord help us. This guy could actually start WWIII just for kicks.
Ben Totuous, I'm just now taking this test and guess what?? It's happening!! I am so afraid for this country under Trump's administration!!!! This is 1/17/20 and he has bombed Iran.
Christopher John Goddard, Christopher John Goddard, oops Alaska is the right answer for the question asked. Just not the right question for the answer the author wanted.
Christopher John Goddard, Uh, there’s a difference between producing oil and refining oil! Alaska is the state that produces the most oil, crude oil. However it must be shipped out to a refinery and nearly all of the refineries are on the gulf coast and mostly in Texas. Next time use the correct language in your question.
Scott Wright, Why would we want to use our own oil reserves when American oil barons can continue to profit off the exploitation of foreign oil? We'll just keep doing it until all their reserves are depleted - then be the only country with oil.
