The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) predicted on Tuesday that U.S. oil production will reach a record level this year, surpassing previous forecasts. This is fueling increasing speculation about a potential global supply glut. According to the agency, the rise in production will contribute to an increase in global market supply, which could lead to lower prices. Experts attribute this trend to the success of the shale industry and the adoption of new technologies.
