Texas is by far the largest oil-producing state in the United States. In 2024, Texas produced a total of over two billion barrels. In a distant second place is New Mexico, which produced 744.6 million barrels in the same year. Virginia is the smallest producing state in the country, at three thousand barrels. Macro perspective of U.S. oil production The U.S. oil production totaled some 19.4 million barrels of oil per day, or a total annual oil production of 827 million metric tons in 2023. As the largest oil producer in the U.S., it is not surprising that Texas is home to the most productive U.S. oil basin, the Permian. The Permian has routinely accounted for at least 50 percent of total onshore production. Regional distribution of U.S. oil production A total of 32 of the 50 U.S. states produce oil. There are five regional divisions for oil production in the U.S., known as the Petroleum Administration for Defense Districts (PADD). These five regional divisions of the allocation of fuels derived from petroleum products were established in the U.S. during the Second World War and they are still used today for data collection purposes. In line with the fact that Texas is by far the largest U.S. oil producing state, PADD 3 (Gulf Coast) is also the largest oil producing PADD, as it also includes the federal offshore region in the Gulf of Mexico. There are around 590 operational oil and gas rigs in the country as of February 2025.

This dataset provides values for CRUDE OIL PRODUCTION reported in several countries. The data includes current values, previous releases, historical highs and record lows, release frequency, reported unit and currency.

In 2023, oil production in the United States reached 19.4 million barrels per day, the highest value within the period of consideration. The United States currently produces more oil than any other country in the world. Why has U.S. oil production increased? As U.S. oil production has more than doubled since the 2008 recession, imports of crude oil to the United States have decreased. An upsurge in foreign oil prices during the financial crisis, particularly from OPEC countries located mainly in the Middle East, motivated the U.S. energy industry to find ways to increase production domestically. Developments in extraction technology During the recession, investors took advantage of low-interest rates to develop costly oil extraction processes such as hydraulic fracturing. Also known as “fracking,” this extraction method made it possible to access shale oil deep underground that was once out of reach. Texas and New Mexico are major sites of shale reserves and have thus become the two largest oil-producing states in the country.

Weekly Crude Oil Production in the United States decreased to 13385 Thousand Barrels Per Day in July 4 from 13433 Thousand Barrels Per Day in the previous week. This dataset includes a chart with historical data for the United States Weekly Crude Oil Production.

This dataset contains information about united states crude oil production for 1920-2021. Data from US Energy information administration.

United States Crude Oil Supply: Field Production data was reported at 11,142.000 1000 Barrel/Day in Oct 2018. This records an increase from the previous number of 11,047.000 1000 Barrel/Day for Sep 2018. United States Crude Oil Supply: Field Production data is updated monthly, averaging 7,435.340 1000 Barrel/Day from Jan 1973 (Median) to Oct 2018, with 550 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 11,345.511 1000 Barrel/Day in Aug 2018 and a record low of 3,973.586 1000 Barrel/Day in Sep 2008. United States Crude Oil Supply: Field Production data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by Energy Information Administration. The data is categorized under Global Database’s United States – Table US.RB016: Petroleum Overview.

Texas is by far the leading producing state of crude oil in the United States, with production amounting to roughly 5.5 million barrels per day. Following, New Mexico produced a third of the amount produced in the Lone Star state.

U.S. crude oil production hit a record 13.47 million barrels per day in April, as reported by the EIA, marking significant growth in the oil sector.

County-level data from oil and/or natural gas producing States—for onshore production in the lower 48 States only—are compiled on a State-by-State basis. Most States have production statistics available by county, field, or well, and these data were compiled at the county level to create a database of county-level production, annually for 2000 through 2011. Raw data for natural gas is for gross withdrawals, and oil data almost always include natural gas liquids. Note that State-provided natural gas withdrawals were not available for Illinois or Indiana; those estimates were produced using geocoded wells and State total production reported by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Information Agency. In the data file, counties with increases or decreases in excess of $20 million in oil and/or natural gas production during 2000-11 are also identified. See the Documentation for more details. Currently, an ERS update to this data product is not planned.

The US oil and gas production index measures the change in annual crude oil and natural gas production in the continental United States. Data for both commodities is sourced from the Energy Information Administration, and crude oil production volume has been converted to the equivalent measurement of natural gas. The base year of the index is 2000.

In 2024, Brazil was the largest crude oil producing country in Latin American and the Caribbean, with an average output of over 3.36 million barrels per day. Mexico followed, with around 1.84 million daily barrels. Meanwhile, Venezuela trailed in third, with some 863 thousand barrels per day, despite having by far the largest crude oil reserves in the region.

This statistic displays the crude oil production in the United States from 2017 to 2019, by Petroleum Administration for Defense District (PADD). PADDs were created during World War II (under the Petroleum Administration for War) in order to help organize the allocation of fuels from petroleum products (gasoline, diesel, etc.). For data collection purposes these regions are still used today.

In 2019, PADD 3 (Gulf Coast), which includes the oil production in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, and Texas, was the largest oil producing PADD, having produced some 2.95 billion barrels of crude oil.

US oil production costs per barrel vary depending on factors such as location, type of crude oil, technology used, and economies of scale. Onshore drilling costs range from $20 to $50, while offshore costs can range from $50 to $100 or more. Light crude oil is easier to extract and costs $20 to $60, while heavy crude oil costs $30 to $70. Advanced drilling technologies can lower costs to $30 to $60. Economies of scale can further reduce costs. Production cost figures are estimates and can vary due to market
