World leading nations in world oil production based on 2020 data from BP’s Statistical Review of World Energy 2021.


  1. United States: 16.476 million barrels per day
    Thirty-two states contribute to America’s total output but most of it is drilled in Texas, which produces 41% of the nation’s oil. The US has been particularly forward-thinking when it comes to extracting oil and was the first nation to adopt methods that allow rigs to drill horizontally, which may account for its increasingly high yields.
