Does Oklahoma produce nearly three times more energy than it consumes?

Oklahoma produced 2.9 times more energy than it consumed at 4,393.8 trillion Btu in 2023, ranking eighth in the nation in energy production.

The industrial sector accounted for 40% of energy consumption, while the residential and commercial sectors accounted for 15% and 14%, respectively.

Natural gas accounted for the vast majority of the energy produced in Oklahoma at 76%, followed by crude oil at 20% and renewable sources at 3%. Oklahoma generally produces three to four times as much natural gas as it consumes; the excess is either stored in in-state storage fields or transported interstate.

Natural gas and wind energy accounted for 50% and 41% of Oklahoma’s electricity production, respectively.

Despite an unusual rate of electricity bill increases, Oklahoma residents are protected from further increases directly caused by large data centers, per a recently passed law.
