North America
North America produced 7.52 Bbbl of oil and 57.25 Tcf of natural gas in 2025. 1,107,273 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
All from what the source published. 82.6% held at well grain.
How the volume breaks down
- 70.0% Reported by the official source by well
- 17.4% Reported by the official source as a lease, facility, field or state total. Published without per-well detail.
- 10.6% 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.
- 0.45% Reported by the official source for a longer period, spread across its months. The period total is the reported number.
- 1.4% A series adjusted to match official published figures: a well's cumulative, a later correction netted into the months before it, a field's oil volume from the royalty file for a month missing from the production report, or a state's yearly total from a second official source.
- 0.11% 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 May 2026 starts from what the official source published for those months. Measured over January 1928 to May 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.

- 6.6% 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.

- 0.01% Published by the official source as its own estimate rather than an operator-attested figure
- 0.01% The official source filed this volume for its reporting unit without naming the well. The well shown is our attribution, made only where a measured one-well ground identifies it; the volume itself is the source's own figure, untouched.
Every cubic foot through May 2026 starts from what the official source published for those months. Measured over January 1928 to May 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.

About the benchmark comparisons
Where a row carries a Benchmark figure, it names the agency it compares against: the EIA for United States rows, Statistics Canada for Canadian rows. The compared series are produced differently from ours, so recent months can differ in either direction.
Coverage rows for North America are regenerated at every build from the same catalog of sources the data is built from.
