Open dataUS oil and gas production by state, 2025
Last reviewed June 2026
US oil and gas production by state in 2025 was led by Texas, which produced about 2.10 billion barrels of crude oil and 12.7 trillion cubic feet of marketed natural gas. The United States produced roughly 4.96 billion barrels of crude oil and 43.2 trillion cubic feet of marketed natural gas in total, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. New Mexico, North Dakota, and Oklahoma were the next largest oil producing states.

Why production by state matters to a mineral owner
Production matters to a mineral owner because a royalty is a decimal share of what a well actually produces and sells, so the volume coming out of the ground is the number behind every check. The states and plays that produce the most, Texas, New Mexico, and North Dakota above all, are where leasing is most active and where competing offers for an interest tend to be strongest.
The same figures cut the other way when a well slows down. Production that falls toward zero can put a lease at risk of ending under its own terms, which is when an owner most needs to know whether an interest is still held by production or quietly lapsing. Reading your state and your operator against the wider picture here is a fast way to sense whether your interest sits in a busy basin or a thinning one.
Crude oil and natural gas production by state, 2025
Ranked by crude oil production. Figures are the latest available annual data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, in the units EIA reports, thousand barrels for crude oil and million cubic feet for marketed natural gas. States the EIA does not report separately produce little or no oil and gas commercially.

Methodology and source
The data on this page comes entirely from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, drawn from two public datasets, Crude Oil Production by State and Natural Gas Marketed Production by State, both annual, accessed in June 2026 for the 2025 reporting year. No figures are estimated or adjusted by us.
Crude oil is shown in thousand barrels and marketed natural gas in million cubic feet, the native EIA units. The sum of the state rows does not equal the United States total because federal offshore production, chiefly the Gulf of America, and small volumes the EIA groups elsewhere are not attributed to a single state, so they appear on their own reconciling row. The EIA revises recent years as more complete data arrives, so 2025 figures may change in later releases. Where a state has no EIA series it is listed as not reported, which means production is negligible rather than unknown.

Frequently asked questions
Which state produces the most oil and gas?
Texas produces the most oil and gas in the United States by a wide margin, with about 2.10 billion barrels of crude oil and 12.7 trillion cubic feet of marketed natural gas in 2025, according to the EIA. New Mexico is second in oil, and Pennsylvania is second in gas.
How much oil and gas does the United States produce?
The United States produced roughly 4.96 billion barrels of crude oil and 43.2 trillion cubic feet of marketed natural gas in 2025, the latest annual figures from the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Does production affect my mineral royalty?
Yes. A mineral royalty is a decimal share of the oil and gas a well produces and sells, so higher production means a larger royalty check, and production that stops can put the lease at risk of ending. Production by state is a useful gauge of how active your area is. For county level figures, use the oil and gas production lookup.
Where does this production data come from?
It comes from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, specifically its Crude Oil Production by State and Natural Gas Marketed Production by State datasets, accessed in June 2026 for the 2025 year. The figures are public domain.
