摘要:LONDON (Bloomberg) -- U.S. natural gas and crude oil production increased last year at the fastest pace ever for a single country. U.S. gas output soared 86 Bcm in 2018, the largest annual increase by any country ever, according to statistics published Tuesday by BP. That’s roughly equivalent to consumption in the UK, one of the oldest users of the fuel, and almost 40% more than the previous record set by Russia in 2010.
