Crude oil production in the United States is expected to amount to 28.26 quadrillion British thermal units in 2025. Despite many governments intensifying searches for renewable alternatives to fossil fuel energy production, production is forecast to increase until at least 2027. One standard barrel of crude oil contains about 5.8 million British thermal units. U.S. oil production gains in the past decade Thanks to hydraulic fracturing, the United States has been able to position itself as the largest oil producer worldwide. Fracking allows them to extract oil from permeable rock formations, such as shale or tight sandstone. This type of oil is referred to as tight oil or unconventional oil. In the U.S., most shale formations are located in Texas and North Dakota. Since the rapid expansion of fracking, these states have become two of the country’s largest producers of crude oil. The largest oil producing region is the Permian basin in Texas and New Mexico. Most productive oil basins Also, as of May 2025, the Permian basin ranked as the third-largest producer basin of new-well oil, generating slightly over 1,500 barrels per day per rig. The Bakken basin was the largest new-well oil producer that month, with nearly 1,800 barrels per day per rig. New-well oil refers to initial crude oil output from recently drilled and completed wells, a key metric in the oil and gas industry used to assess early well productivity.

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.

Global oil production amounted to ************ barrels per day in 2024. The level of oil production reached an all-time high in 2024. However, the coronavirus pandemic and its impact on transportation fuel demand led to a notable decline in 2020. Rising production and consumption Apart from events surrounding global economic crisis as in the late 2000's and 2020, oil production consistently increased every year for the past two decades. Similarly, global oil consumption only decreased in 2008, 2009, and 2020, but has otherwise increased to a higher level year after year. Oil and oil products remain invaluable commodities as most transportation fuels are petroleum-based and oil is a major raw material for the chemicals industry. Production by region and country While total production is rising, regional distribution has shifted, with the share of production declining the most in Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) since 2008, and rising the most in North America. Even though as a region the Middle East still produces the largest share of oil worldwide, the United States is currently the worl'ds largest producer of oil, followed by Saudi Arabia and Russia.

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 .
