The US expects crude production to grow by just 320,000 barrels a day next year, much slower than previously estimated.

While output is still poised to reach a record of 13.54 million barrels a day, the annual rate of growth is now projected at 2.4% versus 3.2%, the Energy Information Administration said in its Short-Term Energy Outlook Tuesday. The slowdown comes after a surprise bumper increase last year.
