The United States set a record for crude oil production in 2025, according to new data from the Energy Information Administration.

The data shows that crude oil production grew by three percent in 2025, or 350,000 barrels, which led to a production record of 13.6 million barrels for the year.

There were fewer rigs and wells in service than in 2024, but efficiency improvements led to more production.
