Choose the work
Start with regional activity, then verify operator permits, actual well plans and the technical job. EIA supplies market context.
Next question: Which independently verified operator plan supports the next conversation?
Find reported plants and generator changes, then verify the developer, permits, status, technical scope and buying team.
Next question: Is this a reported plan, an operating facility, or a confirmed project with an actual requirement?
Use energy benchmarks to explain why actual measurement matters. Pair environmental context with regulator records and site evidence.
Next question: What do our measured site data show compared with this broad benchmark?
Follow energy from its source to everyday use. Choose activities suited to the reader’s age and follow the original lesson links.
Next question: Where did the energy for something we used today come from?
Choose a source-backed subject, check the data period, explain the implication, then ask a useful question. Keep assumptions visible.
Next question: What changed, why does it matter to the field, and what would we need to verify next?
Open the Company Universe power-facility explorer for a scoped EIA dataset and source-dated generator/ownership research. Treat reported projects as candidates to verify. Use Followthrough to organize evidence and next actions.

Showing 36 of 39 sources.
Read the monthly outlook and its assumptions before planning market conversations.
Timing: Monthly; preserve forecast vintage
Forecasts change with assumptions and do not establish a particular company’s plans.
Use Tables 10a and 10b for regional drilling metrics and shale/tight formation production.
Timing: Monthly
Recent well data include imputation; current regions do not separately list legacy Anadarko. Regional metrics do not measure a service company’s performance.
Compare Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and other state daily-average production estimates.
Timing: Monthly; reporting lag and revisions
Units are thousand barrels per day. EIA estimates may differ from regulator-reported totals.
Research supply, inventories, refining, transportation and state production.
Timing: Monthly
Preliminary history can be revised. Use current tables and navigators; old PDF/CSV report paths were discontinued.
Research production, deliveries, storage, consumption and prices by geography.
Timing: Monthly
Gross withdrawals, marketed gas and dry gas differ. State averages are not a customer’s fuel contract.
Understand long-term state/play resource context and reserve changes.
Timing: Annual
Lagged economic estimates; not a permit list, asset appraisal or an individual operator’s reserves certification.
Follow weekly stocks, refinery activity and petroleum balances.
Timing: Weekly; check holiday schedule
Weekly estimates and monthly/final statistics have different methods and coverage.
Track working-gas stocks and regional seasonal comparisons.
Timing: Weekly; check report release
Survey estimates include sampling uncertainty. Storage stocks are not pipeline capacity or available supply for a specific customer.
Find reported infrastructure projects and capacity sources for further company research.
Timing: Product-specific periodic releases
Capacity is not actual flow or commercially available capacity. Confirm project status with developer and regulator evidence.
Find refinery facilities and dated capacity/ownership research leads.
Timing: Annual snapshot
A facility record does not establish a maintenance need, buying contact or current turnaround schedule.
Research selected gas companies, storage and supply/delivery records.
Timing: Annual
Not a complete upstream operator census. Match respondent, operator, owner and parent separately.
Find importer/refiner identities for downstream research.
Timing: Monthly
Importer identity does not establish ownership, purchasing authority or upstream production.
Research existing/planned generators, plants, utilities and ownership links.
Timing: Annual
Keep company, plant and generator separate. Coverage is plants with at least 1 MW combined nameplate capacity.
Find reported changes in existing, proposed and retired generation, including geothermal.
Timing: Monthly preliminary inventory
EIA’s estimates are not facility capacity commitments. A reported plan requires independent qualification.
Understand plant generation, fuel consumption, receipts and selected environmental schedules.
Timing: Monthly subset plus annual final data
Does not establish equipment condition, maintenance requirements or permit compliance.
Research utility identities, service counties, sales and reliability measures.
Timing: Annual
County coverage is not an exact service boundary. Average prices are not customer-specific tariffs.
Explore regional demand, generation mix and interchange.
Timing: Hourly measures with differing reporting lags
Bulk-grid data are not site SCADA or local outage alerts; modeled CO2 is not measured facility emissions.
Connect geothermal and other generation sources to the broader energy system.
Timing: Mixed product frequencies
Early exploration and EGS wells can precede listed generation. Continue DOE awards, developer and drilling-permit research.
Understand the scope of EIA’s announced 2026 data-center survey work.
Timing: Announcement dated March 25, 2026
Collection announcement is not published pilot results or a comprehensive buyer directory.
Compare state energy production, consumption, costs, intensity and energy-related CO2.
Timing: Annual history; complete through 2024 at review
State historical estimates do not establish a facility’s demand, local supply or legal obligations.
Research national energy balances, fuel comparisons, trends and conversion appendices.
Timing: Monthly
Many recent observations are preliminary; preserve revised histories and changes in methodology.
Study industrial energy uses and frame measurement/baseline questions.
Timing: Survey-year data; 2022 final results at review
Industry aggregates do not identify named customers, current plant loads or product savings.
Explore energy use by building type and end use.
Timing: 2018 final survey results at review
A historical benchmark is not a particular property’s current bill or equipment requirement.
Understand household characteristics, uses of energy and energy costs.
Timing: Survey releases; check data-year and scope
Preliminary 2024 characteristics do not establish final 2024 consumption; do not mix survey vintages.
Teach energy-source and sector context for environmental discussions.
Timing: Annual
Not a complete greenhouse-gas inventory, safety/incident dataset or facility compliance determination.
Learn how fuels, electricity, energy markets and end uses fit together.
Timing: Article-specific updates
Use appropriate technical source documents for engineering and operating procedures.
Check the difference between power, energy, fuel volume and heat content.
Timing: Factors can vary by fuel and year
Use actual fuel specifications and unit checks for engineering or cost estimates.
Explore family activities, energy history, vocabulary and questions.
Timing: Learning resource
Energy Ant and third-party materials have separate rights; link to lessons rather than copying protected artwork.
Find age-appropriate classroom and family learning extensions.
Timing: Grade-based learning directory
Some lessons are credited to NEED or other providers. Check rights and suitability before reuse.
Find source-backed subjects for newsletters, original posts and podcast preparation.
Timing: Several times each week
Check underlying dates and commercial source credits; a headline is a research lead.
Compare long-term alternative futures and assumptions.
Timing: Edition-specific scenarios; 2026 at review
Keep case names and vintage. Scenarios do not prove a buyer’s future demand or an investment return.
Study long-term regional energy scenarios.
Timing: 2023 edition at review
The latest landing-page edition is not automatically a current-year forecast.
Find country data, analysis and energy-security topics.
Timing: Country/product-specific
Some portal pages require rendered/export verification; check each country’s observation date.
Discover infrastructure and basin geography for further research.
Timing: Layer-specific dates
Layer proximity proves neither interconnection, gas deliverability, permits nor emergency conditions.
Use documented API v2, downloads and manifests for reusable statistics.
Timing: Underlying product cadence varies
Bulk download needs no key. API needs a registered key; preserve units, pagination, revisions and attribution.
Check when a chosen product is expected to update.
Timing: Report-specific Eastern time
Dates can shift; each report’s current release page governs.
Record observation period, release/vintage, retrieval date, geography, units and estimate/forecast status. Missing and withheld values stay distinct from zero.
Separate EIA statistics from our calculations and research hypotheses. A regional trend does not establish a named company’s job, a tool’s suitability or a customer’s buying intent.
Credit EIA with product and publication date. Check commercial source credits, photos and protected marks separately. Read EIA’s reuse guidance.
