The United States of America is now producing more oil than any country in history.

The country’s oil and gas operators produced more than 13.49 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude in December 2024 , an all-time high rate of production.

Oil production is at risk of decline due to falling Brent prices, which are expected to average around $74 this year and then fall further to about $66 in 2026 .
