SUGAR LAND, TX--(Marketwire - Oct 29, 2012) - Written by Richard Finlayson, Senior International Editor for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas) -- High prices and new drilling methods are driving a sustained boom in U.S. hydrocarbon production, which could see the U.S. overtake Saudi Arabia and Russia and return to the No. 1 global oil producer spot for the first time since 2002. U.S. oil production is set to rise 7% in 2013 to reach an average of 10.9 million barrels per day.
