Two New Reports Tout Massive Benefits of Texas Oil and Gas

The U.S. shale boom has reshaped the global energy landscape, with American oil output more than doubling over the past decade. Texas is at the epicenter of the boom because of regions like the Permian Basin that are expected to keep the U.S. ahead of Russia and Saudi Arabia as the #1 oil producer.
