Texas is America's energy capital — Permian Basin (largest US oil), Gulf Coast LNG, Houston petrochem corridor, ERCOT renewables grid leader.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Oil production | ~5.5 million bbl/d (Permian Basin = ~40% of US output) |
| Gas production | ~30 Bcf/d (~1/3 of US dry gas) |
| LNG export capacity | ~22 Bcf/d (Sabine Pass + Freeport + Corpus Christi) |
| Wind capacity | ~40 GW (largest in US) |
| Solar capacity | ~25 GW (rapidly growing in ERCOT) |
| Refining capacity | ~6 million bbl/d (Houston-Beaumont-Port Arthur Cluster) |
| Petrochemical anchor | Houston Ship Channel = world's largest petrochem cluster |
| Top employers | ExxonMobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Pioneer (now Exxon), Occidental, Cheniere LNG, Phillips 66, Valero |
Spans West Texas + SE New Mexico. ~5.5 million bbl/d oil + 25 Bcf/d gas. Anchor producers: ExxonMobil (Pioneer acquisition complete), Chevron (Hess merger), Occidental, ConocoPhillips, EOG, Diamondback. Operational shift to "Tier 2" inventory + capital discipline.
Sabine Pass (Cheniere — first US LNG exporter), Corpus Christi (Cheniere), Freeport LNG, Cameron LNG, Plaquemines (Venture Global) cross-border. ~22 Bcf/d export capacity. Major buyers: EU (post-Russia pivot), Japan, South Korea, India (limited so far).
~50 facilities, world's largest petrochemical cluster. Ethane/naphtha cracking → ethylene → polyethylene/PVC. Anchor majors: ExxonMobil, Shell, Dow, LyondellBasell, Chevron Phillips Chemical, INEOS.
Texas leads US wind (~40 GW installed) and is rapidly building solar. Independent grid (ERCOT) means most wind/solar bypasses FERC. Battery storage growing 5-10 GW/year in 2025-2026.
India energy importers (IOC, BPCL, HPCL, Reliance, GAIL) buy increasing US LNG. Reliance Jamnagar receives US crude. Adani buys US LNG for India regasification terminals. Houston ↔ Mumbai energy trading corridor.
