Surprising absolutely no one
How can it be, that the oil production scince 2010 has increased so much? It looks like it almost doubled… Wtf?
This was a concentrated effort to move oil production back to the US from overseas in order to gain energy independence and to stop funding the middle East.
Its production, not consumption.

Even from a consumption standpoint it I’d a shitshow.
In fact, almost all of the top 20 fossil fuel-producing countries plan to produce more oil, gas and coal in 2030 than they do today. If those projections hold, the world would overshoot the amount of fossil fuels consistent with limiting warming to 2 degrees Celsius — the level scientists say would result in vastly more life-threatening heat waves, drought and coastal flooding.
“Governments are literally doubling down on fossil fuel production; that spells double trouble for people and planet,” António Guterres, the United Nations secretary general, said in a statement accompanying the report. “We cannot address climate catastrophe without tackling its root cause: fossil fuel dependence.”
USA! USA! USA!
