U.S. Oil Production Monthly

Highlights:

U.S. oil production as of January was 13.15 million barrels per day, up 4.7% versus last year, helped by lower production last January due to freeze offs.  U.S. oil has grown 43 of the last 44 months, with the aforementioned freeze offs causing the only month of contraction.  Oil grew 56 consecutive months from 2011-2015 and 38 months from 2016 to 2020.

At 5.58 million barrels per day, Texas represents 42.5% of total U.S. oil production.  It is worth noting that there is no significant Federal acreage in the Lone Star state, it is virtually all privately-owned lands.

The Federal Gulf of Mexico offshore region was 13.6% of U.S. production in January while New Mexico (largely Federal leases) registered at 15.7%.

These three areas combined totaled 71.8% of U.S. oil production.

EnerWrap uses Department of Interior monthly data combined with EIA monthly data to show U.S. oil production by land type on the next two pages.  The DOI data is as of November.

During November private lands represented 73.4%, Federal offshore 12.5%, Federal onshore 12.8% and Native lands were 1.4%.

Private lands produced 9.79 million barrels per day while Fed Offshore & Onshore produced 1.67 million barrels per day and 1.70 million barrels per day, respectively.

Year-over-year growth was 2.5% on private lands, -10.6% on Gulf of Mexico Fed leases and 3.0% on Federal onshore leases.
