The oil and natural gas industry plays a pivotal role in bringing substantial economic benefits to Colorado.
You may not know that Colorado holds a place in the 10 most oil-rich states. In fact, Colorado energy companies produced nearly 64.1 million barrels of oil during 2013, breaking a record for full-year production that’s stood for nearly 60 years (In 1956, the state saw just over 60 million barrels of oil produced).
The 2013 production also represents a 30 percent increase over the state’s 2012 production (40.3 million barrels), and is more than double the amount of oil Colorado produced in 2008.
