• US produced 13.6 million barrels per day (mb/d) of crude oil in 2025, the highest globally, compared to Russia's 9.8-10.5 mb/d and Saudi Arabia's 9.5 mb/d.
• Including total petroleum liquids (crude + natural gas liquids), US production reached 20-24 mb/d, nearing the combined output of Russia and Saudi Arabia.
