Florida's Oil, Gas, and Minerals: Modest Resources, Limited Production

Florida has minor hydrocarbon and mineral resources:

Production centered in Panhandle (Jay Field, Blackjack Creek) and South Florida (Sunniland trend).
2018: ~1.2M barrels oil, 18 Bcf gas—trivial nationally.
Peaked 1970s; declining reserves, low prices, environmental sensitivity limit growth.

Limestone, sand, gravel, phosphate (central FL)—construction, agriculture.
Phosphate mining (Bone Valley) significant but controversial (radon, water use).
No major metal deposits.

Economy driven by tourism, real estate, agriculture, aerospace—not extractive industries.
