Oil production reached 25-year highs in 2013, and with increased output
projected for this year, First Titan Corp. (OTCBB: FTTN) is in position
to see increased return on investment from the assets in its growing oil
and gas portfolio.
According to the Department of Energy, the U.S. is producing 8.11
million barrels of oil a day, well outpacing U.S. oil production in 2012
of 5.50 million barrels a day. The last time the U.S. saw this amount of
oil produced domestically was 1988.
Thanks in part to the discovery of shale oil, crude output is expected
to increase even more in 2014. The Energy Information Administration
(EIA) projects U.S. crude output to reach 9.6 million barrels per day
this year.
“As we continue scouting more possible acquisitions, it is clear this
sector will continue to be able to meet increased demand with supply,”
Interim CEO Robert Federowicz said. “First Titan (Corp.) is excited
about the crude projections for 2014 after a very successful 2013.”
FTTN is an oil and gas energy company seeking continued growth of a
