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.

In December 2024, the crude oil production in the U.S. Federal Offshore Gulf of Mexico reached **** million barrels, a slight decrease of around a 100,000 barrels compared to the same month a year prior. Since the beginning of the century, oil production in the Gulf has been abruptly interrupted **** times, all linked to strong hurricanes. For instance, in September 2008, crude oil production plummeted to ***** million barrels due to hurricanes Gustave and Ike, both category-**** storms.

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 data release contains several datasets that provide an overview of oil and gas well history and production of the United States, from 1817 to September 1, 2022. Well history data is aggregated into 1-mile and 10-mile squares indicating the total number of wells and counts of wells classified as oil, gas, dry, injection, hydraulically fractured, and/or horizontal wells. Well history is also separated into layers binned on 1-year increments from a well's spud date (date drilling commenced). Production data is aggregated in 2-mile and 10-mile squares that sum the total production of oil, gas, and water volumes. Production data is also separated into layers binned on 1-year increments to reflect the year of production. These aggregations are compiled from data from IHS Markit, which is a proprietary, commercial database. No proprietary data is contained in this release. This data release was updated May 2023 to reflect an offset of 1 year on the original release.

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

This dataset includes commodity production volumes of natural resources by month. Monthly data contains only oil, gas, and coal, since these are high-volume commodities that result in the most revenue. Natural resources are extracted from federal lands, federal waters, and Native American lands. Federal production volumes are available by state, county, and offshore area. Location data is withheld for Native American data. The dataset is tracked and managed by the Department of the Interior’s Office of Natural Resources Revenue. It contains production data from January 2003-present.

In September 2023, crude oil production in Russia was measured at *** million barrels per day, having remained on the same level as in the previous month. In April 2022, the output saw a decrease due to Western bans on oil imports from Russia due to its invasion of Ukraine that started in February 2022. The production also dropped significantly in the second and third quarters of 2020 during the oil price war with Saudi Arabia. Russian oil production after the invasion of Ukraine Despite the Western sanctions on its oil industry, Russia increased its crude oil production in 2022 compared to the previous year, by nearly *** percent. Having stopped supplying crude oil to the U.S. and the European Union (EU), Russia has increased imports to China, India, and Turkey, which have become the leading importers of this product. How much oil is produced in the BRICS? In 2022, three of the BRICS members, Russia, China, and Brazil, made it to the top 10 oil producers worldwide. Russia was the leading oil-producing country among the organization’s members, having produced over ** million barrels of oil per day. India had a significantly lower oil production volume, at less than *** million barrels daily, while South Africa did not produce crude oil. Thus, in total, the BRICS countries produced approximately **** million barrels of oil per day.

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.
