The Permian basin is by far the most productive oil basin in the United States. Monthly production in the Permian peaked at nearly six million barrels per day in July 2023. This basin is also known as West Texas Basin, located in western Texas and southeastern New Mexico. Total daily production output in the U.S. climbed to over eight million barrels by late 2021.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Since the 1960s, the Middle East has been the global region that has produced the largest quantity of crude oil in most years, followed by North America, and then the Commonwealth of Independent States (most of the former-USSR). In the figures for annual output, there are notable fluctuations in output that coincide with major regional events, such as the Iranian Revolution in 1979, Soviet dissolution in 1991, or the boom in onshore shale oil drilling in the U.S. since 2010.

Weekly Crude Oil Production in the United States decreased to 13273 Thousand Barrels Per Day in July 18 from 13375 Thousand Barrels Per Day in the previous week. This dataset includes a chart with historical data for the United States Weekly Crude Oil Production.

The United States is the world's largest crude oil producer. In 2023, it had an output of 19.4 million barrels worth of oil per day. This was nearly 12 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 11.4 and 11.1 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 934 billion cubic meters in 2021, despite ranking fifth in terms of proved natural gas reserves .

The Middle East produces more oil than any other region in the world, accounting for slightly less than ******* of global oil production in 2024, at **** percent. Overall, Middle Eastern oil production makes up a slightly larger share of global production than it did ten years ago, but the contribution to worldwide oil production has risen most consistently in North America while declining in all other regions. Shifts in North American oil production Over the past decade, higher oil production in North America has largely been driven by the United States. In the last ten years, oil production in the United States has more than doubled, with its annual output only mildly affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Meanwhile, Canada's crude oil production has also increased in the period, although in a less consistent manner. The U.S. moves towards less dependency Oil prices from OPEC countries, many of which are in the Middle East, had been rising in the years leading up to the global recession, reaching a peak in 2012. As a result, the United States decreased oil imports, and investors capitalized on lower interest rates to develop technologies such as hydraulic fracturing (fracking) that would allow domestic oil extraction from wells deep underground that were once too hard to reach. In 2019, before oil demand was affected by the pandemic, the North American country's imports dipped below *** million barrels, a ** percent drop in comparison to a decade earlier.

In 2024, the majority of oil worldwide was produced in the Middle East, which accounted for around **** percent of the global output that year. Home to large hydrocarbon reserves, many of the world’s largest petrostates are located here. North America was the second largest oil producer, followed by the Commonwealth of Independent States. Global crude oil production In 2024, global oil production stood at almost ** million barrels per day. Amongst the various crude oil producing countries in the world, the United States came in first, accounting for nearly ** percent of global oil production in 2022. In comparison, Algeria was in the last position, accounting for only *** percent of the global oil production. Global oil companies Saudi Aramco, the state-owned petroleum and natural gas company in Saudi Arabia, is one of the top oil companies in terms of daily crude oil production, with a daily production volume of nearly **** million barrels per day. In contrast, Sinopec, a Chinese oil company, which largely focuses on refining, reported a daily production of ******* barrels. Due in part to its position as refining leader, Sinopec claimed the highest revenue among global oil and gas companies, reaching nearly *** billion U.S. dollars in 2023.
