U.S. Oil Production Reaches Record 13.58 Million Bpd in June, EIA Reports
U.S. crude output rose to 13.58 million bpd in June, while fuel demand for gasoline and jet fuel climbed to multi-year highs, EIA data shows.
WASHINGTON — U.S. crude oil production climbed to an all-time high in June, averaging 13.58 million barrels per day, the Energy Information Administration reported on Friday. The figure marks an increase of 133,000 barrels per day from May and surpasses the previous record set earlier this year.
Fuel demand also strengthened. Total product supplied, a proxy for domestic consumption, rose by 684,000 barrels per day to 21 million barrels per day, the highest level since October 2024. Gasoline use reached 9.23 million barrels per day, the strongest since July 2024, while jet fuel consumption hit 1.85 million barrels per day, the highest since August 2018.
The gains underscore the U.S. position as the world’s largest oil producer, ahead of Saudi Arabia and Russia. Strong production from shale fields in Texas and New Mexico has been central to the growth.
The surge comes as the Trump administration continues to emphasize “energy dominance,” supporting expanded drilling permits and crude exports. U.S. crude exports averaged more than 4 million barrels per day during the first half of 2025, helping American barrels gain ground in Europe and Asia.
Refinery activity also picked up with the summer driving season, boosting demand for gasoline and jet fuel. Analysts noted that strong travel demand contributed to the highest jet fuel consumption in nearly seven years.
Oil prices on Friday traded steady near $75 a barrel, with the production data reinforcing expectations of ample supply heading into the fall.
