- Natural gas production fell 5% 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: Oct 2026 <1% filed.
All from what the source published. 99.74% held at well grain.
How the volume breaks down
- 99.74% Reported by the official source by well
- 0.26% Reported by the official source as a lease, facility, field or state total. Published without per-well detail.
Every cubic foot through June 2026 starts from what the official source published for those months. Measured over January 1945 to June 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.

About this map
Undetermined means not enough signal to settle it. Producing wells are the ones that reported oil or gas in the 12 months to Aug 2026.
Type curves
4 of the drawn cohorts’ wells are not in these curves yet: each is still producing and joins its curve once it carries a forecast.

Average production per well, for wells grouped by when they first produced.
How these curves are built
Average daily production per well, for wells grouped by when they first produced. Includes every well of the cohort that is old enough at each month, except wells that are still active but not yet covered by our forecasts; those are left out of both the reported and forecast parts until they are. Wells that are shut in or have stopped producing count as zero, so the average reflects the whole group drawn, not just survivors. Rates are calendar-day (volume ÷ days in month). The cumulative axis accumulates those same monthly averages at the average month length. Months not yet fully reported are excluded. The 2010-2014 curve draws those years as one group. The chart opens on average daily rate against months on production, the rate on a log scale. The view control switches to rate against cumulative production per well, on the same log rate scale, or to cumulative production per well against months on production, on a linear scale. Every view draws the same cohorts from the same production history. Each cohort with a dashed curve is solid through the last month all the wells in its curve sit inside fully reported data. Past it the dashed curve carries the same wells forward, on our forecast where a well’s own record ends, for up to five years. A dashed curve runs as far as at least nine in ten of its wells are accounted for. A cohort with no dashed curve is drawn only through the months where at least 50% of its wells are old enough for the month to be fully reported. A well that is old enough but shut in still counts, as zero. The measured months are what these wells reported. In the forward months each well counts its own reported figure for each month it has one, our forecast for each month it has only that, and zero for the rest. The forward average counts every well in the curve. The drawn forecast runs up to five years past the measured months. Line thickness tracks how many wells each curve is drawn from.

What we cover here
Each row names the grain a region’s production is held at. Where a source publishes at a coarser grain, the page says so.
| Data | Grain | Since | Benchmark |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alabama production | lease + well | 1944-04 | ~99–101% of EIA |
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 official records as they arrive. Recent months can differ without either being wrong; the methodology page explains both methods.
Coverage rows for Alabama are regenerated at every build from the same catalog of sources the data is built from.
How our Alabama production compares with the EIA
- Our Alabama oil total is 0.1% below the EIA series over July 2023 to June 2026. Those are the last 36 months our own figures have settled.
- Our Alabama natural gas total is 1.4% above the EIA series over January 2022 to December 2024. Those are the last 36 months our own figures have settled.
Why the two differ
The EIA estimates state totals from an operator survey. The series compared here are rebuilt from official records as they arrive. Recent months differ while filings are still arriving. Every region, beside the EIA series and why the two differ.
What the data shows
- Alabama produced 3.1 MMbbl of oil and 74.5 Bcf of natural gas in 2025.
- Alabama gas production peaked in 1994 at 460.6 Bcf; 2025 output of 74.5 Bcf ran at 16% of that peak.
- 5,531 producing wells tracked, 12 months to Aug 2026.
