North America
North America produced 7.51 Bbbl of oil and 57.26 Tcf of natural gas in 2025. 1,106,859 producing wells tracked, trailing 12 months per region.
- Oil production rose 2% in 2025 from 2024.
Production
- filling in (est. · missed) . Hatching marks our estimate of the volume still to be filed. That estimate draws on our own production forecast. A check on the forecast behind this estimate measured a miss. It updates as filings arrive
Still arriving: Jun 2026 91% filed, Jul 2026 55% filed, Aug 2026 <1% filed.
All from what the source published. 82.4% held at well grain.
How the volume breaks down
- 70.0% Reported by the official source by well
- 17.6% Reported by the official source as a lease, facility, field or state total. Published without per-well detail.
- 11.2% Reported by the official source as a lease total, split across the lease's wells. The regional total shown is the reported number, to rounding.
- 1.1% Reported by the official source for a longer period, spread across its months. The period total is the reported number.
- 0.02% A series adjusted so a total meets a published figure: a well's own cumulative from the official source, or a state's yearly total from a second official source.
- 0.12% Published by the official source as its own estimate rather than an operator-attested figure
- under 0.01% Filed with the official source, which withheld this period's production figure for one stream. That stream carries a placeholder zero.
Every barrel through February 2026 starts from what the official source published for those months. Measured over January 1930 to February 2026.
The gray “without per-well detail” band is volume the source reports above the well: fields, facilities, or leases the source publishes as one total. It is included so the stack still sums to the whole entity.

Every cubic foot through February 2026 starts from what the official source published for those months. Measured over January 1930 to February 2026.
The gray “without per-well detail” band is volume the source reports above the well: fields, facilities, or leases the source publishes as one total. It is included so the stack still sums to the whole entity.
Gas figures for 5 countries and 13 US state totals stopped arriving, the latest of them after December 2024. The charts hold every month of their gas back until the feed is repaired. Their oil keeps arriving and stays in view.
The bands group wells by when they first produced.
About this chart
The stack shows what is holding today's rate up and how much of it is new drilling. In the reported months the bands draw the filings already in. The months still filling in are marked.

Benchmark cells compare our series with the EIA’s published estimates.
About the EIA comparison
The two are produced differently: the EIA estimates from a survey of the largest operators and a model built to anticipate late filings, while the series compared here are rebuilt from the source’s own records as they arrive. Recent months can differ without either being wrong; the methodology page explains both methods.
Coverage rows for North America are regenerated at every build from the same catalog of sources the data is built from.
