During the pandemic, weekly crude oil production dropped to a low of 9,700,000 barrels per day. As of week ending May 5, 2023, crude oil production had returned to pre-pandemic levels of 12,300,000 barrels per day. [5] By 2021 the US was the world's largest producer. [6]
The crisis began to unfold as petroleum production in the United States and some other parts of the world peaked in the late 1960s and early 1970s. [3] World oil production per capita began a long-term decline after 1979. [4] The oil crises prompted the first shift towards energy-saving (in particular, fossil fuel-saving) technologies. [5]
Oil depletion is the decline in oil production of a well, oil field, or geographic area. [1] The Hubbert peak theory makes predictions of production rates based on prior discovery rates and anticipated production rates. Hubbert curves predict that the production curves of non-renewing resources approximate a bell curve.
US oil production, imports, and exports. Crude oil made up 24% of production in 2021. [22] Oil has more than doubled from a slump in the early 2000s, even surpassing its previous peak in 1970. Imports have declined during the same time period, but the US still net imports 20% of consumption. [26] The US has been the largest producer of crude ...

A logistic distribution shaped world oil production curve, peaking at 12.5 billion barrels per year about the year 2000, as originally proposed by M. King Hubbert in 1956. In 1956, M. King Hubbert created and first used the models behind peak oil to predict that United States oil production would peak between 1965 and 1971.
The U.S. is producing more oil than ever, and that's helping gas prices stay low. However, even amid inflation anxiety, the Biden administration isn't openly celebrating the increased output.
