The spread
206 countries, one dot each, on one scale — further right is a higher value. Half the countries are above 0.000; a quarter are above 51.461, and a quarter below 0.000. The bar in each row marks that continent’s middle country.
04All 206 ever measured
Every country
In order, highest value first. No rank or position is shown: too many countries share the same value for an order to mean anything. Neither end is better: this is the size of an industry. Most countries produce no crude oil at all and read zero. The figure counts crude oil only, not the natural-gas liquids and biofuels that some broader totals add.

Over time
Each point is one year from 2004. Output follows fields as they are found, developed and run down, and it also follows prices, production quotas, sanctions and war, so a sudden fall is often a decision or a conflict rather than a well running dry.

About oil production
This is how much crude oil a country produces, in thousands of barrels a day. It is one of the most compared figures in energy, and it shows where the world’s oil actually comes from.
What the number is: Crude oil produced (thousand barrels per day).

11Questions
Oil production: questions and answers
Which country has the highest oil production?
United States, at 13,586.087, among the 206 countries compared in 2025.
Which country has the lowest oil production?
107 countries share the lowest reading, 0.000, among the 206 compared in 2025, so no single country is named.
How many countries does the Crude Oil Production cover?
206 in 2025. The number measured varies from 203 to 206 between editions.
What is the world average oil production?
This site does not calculate a world average, which would depend on how countries are weighted. In the middle country of the 206 compared in 2025, the figure was 0.000.
Is this U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)’s own ranking?
No ranking is shown. U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) publishes values only, and too many countries share the same value for an ordering to mean anything, so none is derived.
How often is the Crude Oil Production published?
This site holds 22 editions, describing 2004 to 2025.
Where does the data come from, and can I download it?
From U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), under Public domain (U.S. government work). From the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s International Energy Statistics, read from its public bulk download and stored as EIA publishes it. The newest year is EIA’s first estimate and is revised later. Every edition is on this site’s Datasets pages as a full table, and downloads as a CSV file with every value unrounded.

How this page reads the numbers
- No rank or position is shown: U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) publishes values only, and too many countries share the same value for an ordering to mean anything.
- This statistic has no better end, so the page describes higher and lower values and never calls a country a leader.
- A country is named at an end only when it holds that value alone. Where several share it, the page says how many and names none first.
- Values are stored exactly as published and trimmed only for display. “The middle country” is the median of the countries measured, not a world average.
The file itself, column by column — where it came from, what each column holds, and every edition as a CSV — is on its dataset page.
