“Their top priority is to get the Strait of Hormuz open as quickly as possible… That's the only way that we're going to provide relief to consumers over time.” @mj_sommers discussed with @jaketapper on @TheLeadCNN:

EXCLUSIVE: American Petroleum Institute President Mike Sommers calls Strait of Hormuz critical artery for the flow of oil after meeting with VP Vance & other oil execs

American energy is playing an important role as a stabilizing force in global markets. But there’s no substitute for getting the strait open. I joined @PowerLunch on @CNBC to discuss:

If you are trying to get basic, up to date, statistics on the U.S. oil and gas industry - @APIenergy has you covered. Check out our "Industry Explained - Frequently Asked Data Questions" page. Interactive charts that answer regular questions like "How much crude oil does the U.S. produce?", or "Where does the U.S. import crude oil from?" and many others. Easy to use and find the facts you need. api.org/energy-insight…

Providing additional flexibility for energy shipments will help address challenges created by this disruption to global energy markets. Ensuring oil and refined products can continue flowing freely across the U.S. and around the world is essential to protecting consumers from unnecessary price volatility.

“Pipeline infrastructure is re-emerging as a critical enabler of affordable, reliable, and secure energy. The next decade will be defined less by whether pipelines are built and more by whether they can be built fast enough.” — API’s Allyson Cutright and Jeff Barron in @AmppOrg’s new report ⬇️

Energy demand is growing. Bipartisan permitting reform will ensure we can meet it. @mj_sommers discussed with @MorningsMaria on @FoxBusiness this morning.

Hormuz is a critical artery for the world’s energy supply. The administration is rightly focused on restoring safe passage. I joined @MorningsMaria on @FoxBusiness to discuss:

“We need to invest in pipelines and power transmission and fiber and infrastructure…that's driven our country's economy for a hundred and fifty years.” ­— Mike Wirth, @Chevron.

The SPR was designed for disruptions like this, and the release is an appropriate step at a moment of geopolitical uncertainty. On the other hand, bad policy ideas others have raised, like export restrictions, would have serious unintended consequences. 🧵

The SPR is an important tool during major disruptions, but American energy production also has a key role to play. @mj_sommers discussed with @MajorCBS on the @TakeoutPodcast.

Record American oil and natural gas production is serving as an important buffer for global energy markets. My conversation with @jaketapper on @TheLeadCNN:

“The biggest insurance policy against geopolitical risk is the American shale revolution.” @mj_sommers with @larry_kudlow on @FoxBusiness

U.S. natural gas production has grown by over 50% in the past decade — an increase of about 44 Bcf/d.

“…it is a political imperative for politicians to finally get this done.” — @mj_sommers cnbc.com/2026/03/09/top…

As bipartisan permitting reform negotiations resume on Capitol Hill, there’s growing recognition the current system isn’t working. Durable reform is needed to build the energy infrastructure required to deliver affordable, reliable energy. eenews.net/articles/the-w…

The key formula to understand any supply disruption: Scale x Duration #Hormuz #OOTT

Domestic natural gas production and ample storage help cushion U.S. markets from global shocks. Read more in @WSJ: wsj.com/finance/commod…
