The U.S. Power Info Administration (EIA) expects U.S. crude oil manufacturing to drop subsequent 12 months, in accordance with its newest brief time period vitality outlook (STEO), which was launched on September 9.
In its September STEO, the EIA projected that whole U.S. crude oil output, together with lease condensate, will common 13.44 million barrels per day in 2025 and 13.30 million barrels per day in 2026. This output got here in at 13.23 million barrels per day in 2024, the STEO highlighted.
The STEO confirmed that Decrease 48 states, excluding the Gulf of America, will present 11.18 million barrels per day of the projected whole in 2025 and 10.96 million barrels per day of the projected whole in 2026.

Of this 11.18 million barrel per day determine, the STEO expects 6.52 million barrels per day to come back from the Permian area, 1.20 million barrels per day to come back from the Bakken area, 1.12 million barrels per day to come back from the Eagle Ford area, 0.19 million barrels per day to come back from the Appalachia area, 0.03 million barrels per day to come back from the Haynesville area, and a pair of.12 million barrels per day to come back from the “remainder of [the] Decrease 48 states”.
In 2026, the STEO sees 6.41 million barrels per day coming from the Permian area, 1.20 million barrels per day coming from the Bakken area, 1.10 million barrels per day coming from the Eagle Ford area, 0.17 million barrels per day coming from the Appalachia area, 0.03 million barrels per day to come back from the Haynesville area, and a pair of.05 million barrels per day to come back from the “remainder of [the] Decrease 48 states”.
The EIA’s newest STEO confirmed that, in 2024, the Permian area produced 6.30 million barrels per day, the Bakken area produced 1.23 million barrels per day, the Eagle Ford area produced 1.16 million barrels per day, the Appalachia area produced 0.16 million barrels per day, the Haynesville area produced 0.03 million barrels per day, and the “remainder of [the] Decrease 48 states” produced 2.15 million barrels per day.
The STEO expects the Federal Gulf of America to supply 1.84 million barrels per day this 12 months and 1.90 million barrels per day in 2026. It sees Alaska manufacturing rising from 0.43 million barrels per day in 2025 to 0.44 million barrels per day subsequent 12 months. Federal Gulf of America manufacturing averaged 1.79 million barrels per day in 2024 and Alaska manufacturing averaged 0.42 million barrels per day final 12 months, the STEO highlighted.
“On account of rising pure gasoline costs and falling oil costs in 2026, we forecast that crude oil will commerce at its lowest premium to pure gasoline since 2005,” the EIA stated in its September STEO.
“Because of this, we count on drilling exercise in the US to be extra centered in pure gas-intensive producing areas in 2026,” it added.
“We count on U.S. pure gasoline manufacturing will likely be comparatively flat subsequent 12 months in contrast with 2025, whereas we count on crude oil manufacturing will decline by about one p.c,” it continued.
A knowledge web page on the EIA web site displaying annual U.S. subject manufacturing of crude oil, which was final up to date on August 29 and which incorporates information from 1859 to 2024, confirmed that annual U.S. subject manufacturing of crude oil averaged 13.235 million barrels per day in 2024. Previous to this, annual U.S. subject manufacturing of crude oil had by no means averaged 13 million barrels per day or extra, the info revealed. The closest it got here to an annual common of 13 million barrels per day was in 2023, at 12.943 million barrels per day, the info confirmed.
One other information web page on the EIA web site – which shows month-to-month U.S. subject manufacturing of crude oil, was additionally final up to date on August 29, and consists of information from January 1920 to June 2025 – confirmed that month-to-month U.S. subject manufacturing of crude oil has averaged 13 million barrels per day or extra on 21 events. 4 of those have been seen in 2023, 11 got here in 2024, and 6 have been in 2025, the info web page highlighted.
The EIA’s September STEO outlined that its Federal Gulf of America manufacturing figures comprise crude oil manufacturing from U.S. Federal leases within the Gulf of America. It additionally highlighted that its Decrease 48 states regional manufacturing figures are primarily based on geographic areas and never geologic formations.
