Sales volumes of fossil fuels produced on federal and Indian lands in fiscal year (FY) 2013 decreased 7 percent from FY 2012, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).
Crude oil production on federal lands increased slightly, but that was mostly due to decreases in coal, natural gas, andnatural gas plant liquids production, the report said. Sales of fossil fuels accounted for 26 percent of total fossil fuel sales volumes in the U.S. in 2013.
EIA said one of the main drivers in the decline of fossil fuel sales from federal and Indian lands is a decline in offshore natural gas production.
