The 10 most Oil-rich States

[Feuer Frei!]

No surprises with Texas leading the way.

Some data only available from 2011. Operating refinery and daily refining capacity are as of January 1, 2013.
Unemployment rates are from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and are as of June 2013.

Ten states accounted for roughly 94% of all onshore U.S. reserves as of the end of 2011, with roughly a third of this in Texas alone — just over 7 billion barrels.

Seems like California's position will rise significantly once some of the estimated 15 billion barrels is proved out:
