U.S. Oil Production Hits Record 13.93 Million Barrels Per Day as Producers Boost Output

U.S. crude oil production climbed to a new all-time high in April, reaching 13.93 million barrels per day, according to monthly data released Tuesday by the Energy Information Administration, as American producers ramped up output amid elevated oil prices driven by the conflict with Iran.

National production increased by 216,000 barrels per day from March, with much of the growth coming from the Permian Basin. New Mexico set a new state production record at 2.37 million barrels per day, while Texas—the nation’s largest oil-producing state—boosted output to 5.83 million barrels per day, its highest level since November.

North Dakota, the country’s third-largest oil producer, also posted gains, with production rising to 1.13 million barrels per day, another high-water mark since late last year.

The production surge comes after crude prices climbed sharply during the Iran conflict, encouraging producers to increase drilling and output. U.S. crude futures were trading around $70 per barrel Tuesday after peaking near $119.50 per barrel during the height of the geopolitical tensions in March.
