Energy Data Profile

Act 7 of 1981 directed the Arkansas Energy Office to compile an energy profile for the State that includes consumption, supply, and costs for renewable and non-renewable energy resources.  The Center for Business and Economic Research was commissioned by the Energy Office to compile this 2007 Energy Data Profile (EDP) for Arkansas.  This publication can be browsed via some quick-facts posted below or in a complete, downloadable PDF.  Additionally, an interactive version of the report is available on the Center for Business and Economic Research’s website.

The following table highlights some of the facts and statistics explored in the energy data profile, many of which compare Arkansas’ production and usage to other states and the country as a whole.  For example, Arkansas ranks 16th amongst states in the U.S. for annual crude oil production and 17th for proved reserves of crude oil.
