Data for week ended: October 06, 2012 | Release Date: October 11, 2012 | Next Release: October 18, 2012
For the week ended October 06, 2012:
U.S. coal production totaled approximately 19.0 million short tons (mmst)
This production estimate is about the same as last week's estimate and 13.5 percent lower than the production estimate in the comparable week in 2011
Coal production east of the Mississippi River totaled 8.1 mmst
Coal production west of the Mississippi River totaled 10.9 mmst
U.S. year-to-date coal production totaled 784.0 mmst, 5.7 percent lower than the comparable year-to-date coal production in 2011
As of the week ending September 15, 2012, all of 2011 production has been revised to match the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) final 2011 production and second quarter 2012 production has been revised to match MSHA production. These changes are present in the Revisions/Archives section, and are also reflected in the "Current Weekly Estimates" and "Current Monthly Estimates" tables in the year-to-date and 52 weeks ended totals. These changes are not reflected in the two Original Estimates tables.
EIA revises its first-round weekly estimates of State-level coal production using Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) quarterly coal production data. After revision, EIA's State-level weekly numbers summed for the quarter, match the MSHA data.
Data for 2011 through June 2012 are revised to match MSHA. Data for July 2012 through October 2012 are preliminary EIA estimates.
