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.

It is a fossil fuel that is refined to produce usable products such as gasoline, diesel, and various forms of petrochemicals. The United States imports crude oil from various countries to supplement its domestic production.

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.

ConocoPhillips's total crude oil production in the United States amounted to a total of some *** million barrels per day in 2024, with Alaska alone accounting for *** million barrels. The Texas-based multinational energy corporation was one of the largest oil companies worldwide until 2012, when it spun-off its mid- and downstream business to form Phillips 66.

The gross output of the U.S. oil and gas extraction industry stood at 456 billion U.S. dollars in 2024, down from 467.7 billion dollars in the previous year. Gross output saw a net increase since 2017 and generally reflects changes in crude oil prices and underlying world market developments. Growth in industry's value added Taking into account the cost of services and goods used during production, the industry's value added has increased along greater gross output. In 2023, value added by the U.S. oil and gas extraction industry shrank to just over 250 billion U.S. dollars. Trends in domestic oil production Domestic oil production has grown exceptionally since technological advances and historically high oil prices made shale mining profitable. Between 2008 and 2023, U.S. oil production increased nearly three-fold, reaching a new peak in the latter year.

This is a list of countries by oil production (i.e., petroleum production), as compiled from the U.S. Energy Information Administration database for calendar year 2023, tabulating all countries on a comparable best-estimate basis.

Compared with shorter-term data, the full-year figures are less prone to distortion from periodic maintenance shutdowns and other seasonal cycles.
