U.S. Oil Extraction to Surpass Saudi Arabia's This Year
-------------------------------------------------------

The International Energy Agency says U.S. oil extraction is expected to
surge this year, with the U.S. expected to surpass Saudi Arabia and
rival Russia in terms of overall production. The surge in U.S. oil
extraction comes as the Trump administration has moved to loosen
drilling regulations and open up millions of acres of waters to offshore
drilling.
