HOUSTON, April 17 (Xinhua) -- U.S. crude oil production decreased slightly during the week ending April 12, U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said on Wednesday.

According to EIA's data, U.S. crude oil production averaged 12.1 million barrels per day (b/d) last week, down by 100,000 barrels from the previous week and up by about 1.6 million b/d year-on-year.

In its latest Short-Term Energy Outlook, the EIA estimated that U.S. crude oil production averaged 12.1 million b/d in March, up 300,000 b/d from the February average.

The EIA also forecast that U.S. crude oil production will average 12.4 million b/d in 2019 and 13.1 million b/d in 2020, with most of the growth coming from the Permian Region of Texas and New Mexico.

According to the EIA, Brent crude oil spot prices averaged 66 U.S. dollars per barrel in March, up by 2 dollars per barrel from February 2019. Brent prices for the first quarter of 2019 averaged 63 dollars per barrel, 4 dollars lower than the same period in 2018.
