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.

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.

The United States accounts for **** percent of global crude oil production, making it the largest oil producing country in the world. Crude oil production includes crude oil, shale oil, oil sand and NGLs (natural gas liquids: liquid content of natural gas in which the condensate is recovered separately). It excludes liquid fuels from other sources such as biomass and coal derivatives. Global crude oil supply Apart from the United States, Saudi Arabia and Russia are among the world’s largest producers of crude oil, each accounting for a share around ** percent. Saudi Arabia's oil production has amounted to roughly ********** barrels of oil per day for the past few years. Unsurprisingly, these countries are also some of the world’s largest oil consumers. Saudi Arabia consumes around ************ barrels per day, while the U.S. uses about ********** barrels. U.S. oil trade In the past, the U.S. relied heavily on oil imports from OPEC member countries like Saudi Arabia. However, due to an increase in domestic production output following technological advances, U.S. crude oil imports decreased by over one third since 2005. Conversely, U.S. petroleum exports skyrocketed, reaching ************ barrels per day in 2024.

In 2024, the United States consumed nearly ** million barrels of oil daily. In comparison to the previous year, figures decreased by around *** percent. Within the period of consideration, the figure peaked at **** million barrels of oil daily in 2005. The U.S. is the country with the highest oil consumption in the world. Domestic production U.S. oil production saw a noticeable growth after the Great Recession, as the energy industry developed extraction technologies to reduce the need to import high-priced oil. In 2021, domestic production amounted to **** million barrels per day, while figures in 2008 stood at *** million barrels per day. Texas is by far the leading crude oil producing state, with an annual production of *** billion barrels in 2024. New Mexico was the second largest producer, at a third of Texas’ production.

The United States is the world's largest crude oil producer. In 2024, it had an output of 20.1 million barrels worth of oil per day. This was nearly 13 million barrels more than in 2010 and largely a result of advances in unconventional tight oil production. Saudi Arabia and Russia ranked second and third, at around 10.9 and 10.8 million barrels daily respectively. Oil production includes crude oil, shale oil, oil sands, and natural gas liquids. Distribution of U.S. oil production The U.S. is divided into five regional divisions for oil production, known as Petroleum Administration for Defense District’s (PADD), which were created during World War II. The main goal was to organize the allocation of fuels from petroleum products and for data collection purposes these regions are still currently used. Out of all PADD's, PADD 3, including the Gulf Coast states, has recorded by far the largest daily crude oil production, at some 7.9 million barrels in 2021. By comparison, PADD 1 (East Coast) production volumes were 74 thousand barrels per day. The importance of PADD 3 to the country’s overall oil output is hardly surprising as Texas is by far the state with the largest crude oil production. U.S. natural gas production Besides being the world's largest oil producer, the U.S. is also the world’s largest natural gas producer. It produced over one trillion cubic meters in 2024, despite ranking fifth in terms of proved natural gas reserves .
