Average daily crude oil production in the United States eased in December to the lowest daily production rate in months, according to the latest EIA data. Total December production, however, was higher than in November.
According to the EIA, U.S. crude oil output averaged 13.655 million barrels per day in December, down from 13.788 million in November and the lowest daily average since June 2025.
The dip from November to December was modest at the national level — roughly 1% — but some regions saw sharper percentage declines. The steepest drop came from North Dakota, where production fell from 1.168 million barrels per day to 1.092 million (-6.5%). Ohio followed with a roughly 6% slide, while Louisiana posted a 3% drop. Texas slipped less than half a percent.

For production, oil prices have been lower that industry would really like in recent months, and it’s been cold as ___ in the Bakken region.

Demand for oil is dropping as well. Read into that what you want.

This. World economies are in the shitter. Zero and negative interest rates, massive inflation after printing trillions in covid and after, and on and on. It’s why war is the next step
