U.S. crude production sets new monthly record in April

U.S. crude oil production reached an all-time monthly high of 13.934 million barrels per day in April 2026, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Output increased by 216,000 barrels per day from March as producers responded to stronger crude prices earlier in the year.

New Mexico production climbed to a record 2.37 million barrels per day, while Texas output increased by 36,000 barrels per day to 5.83 million. The two states contain the Permian Basin, a major driver of U.S. production. North Dakota also reported higher output, reaching 1.13 million barrels per day, its strongest monthly level since November.

The production milestone highlights the scale and responsiveness of the domestic energy sector. For mineral and royalty owners, production volumes and the broader factors affecting oil prices can influence revenue generated from producing properties. The EIA data also showed that total petroleum products supplied reached 20.81 million barrels per day in April, while finished gasoline supplied rose to an eight-month high of 9.12 million barrels per day.
