US Oil and LNG Production 5-24-25

US Oil Production in 2025 

In 2025, US crude oil production is projected to average around 13.59 million barrels per day (bpd). The EIA's latest short-term energy outlook (STEO) estimates that U.S. crude oil production will increase to 13.59 million bpd, with a forecast of 13.51 million bpd overall in 2025. East Daley Analytics anticipates oil output to rise to 13.64 million barrels a day in 2025, further supporting this growth forecast. 

In 2025, US oil production is expected to reach 13.7 million barrels per day, with the majority of production coming from the Lower 48 states, excluding the Gulf of America, at 11.28 million bpd. The Permian Basin is projected to be a major driver of production growth, particularly in 2025 and 2026. 

Key regions of US oil production in 2025:

Lower 48 (excluding Gulf of America): 11.28 million barrels per day

Federal Gulf of America: 1.80 million barrels per day

Alaska: 0.42 million barrels per day 

The Permian Basin, located in western Texas and eastern New Mexico, is expected to be a major source of production growth, and has been a significant contributor to overall US production in recent years. 

It's important to note that the EIA (Energy Information Administration) forecasts a peak in US oil production in 2027, with production then declining gradually.

The EIA estimates that U.S. consumption of petroleum and liquid fuels will be 20.5 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2025. This is slightly lower than the previous forecast of 20.6 million bpd. The EIA also expects U.S. crude oil production to average 13.59 million bpd in 2025, up from its previous estimate of 13.55 million bpd. 

Here's a breakdown of the key points:

U.S. Oil Consumption: 20.5 million barrels per day in 2025. 

U.S. Crude Oil Production: 13.59 million barrels per day in 2025. 

Demand Growth: While oil consumption will still grow, the EIA expects it to grow by less than 1 million b/d in 2025 and 2026, which would be three consecutive years below 1 million b/d. 

Global Demand Growth: Global oil demand is projected to slow in 2025, with the EIA forecasting growth of 730 kb/d.

In 2025, net U.S. crude oil imports are projected to fall by 20% to approximately 1.9 million barrels per day (b/d), according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).

US LNG production in 2025

In 2025, US liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports are projected to increase significantly, driven by new export facilities coming online and strong demand from international markets. The United States is expected to remain the largest LNG exporter globally. 

In 2025, US LNG exports are projected to increase significantly, reaching an average of 14 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) or 143 billion cubic meters per year (bcma). This represents a 19% increase compared to 2024, when the US exported approximately 12 Bcf/d. The majority of this growth is attributed to the start-up of two new LNG export facilities: Plaquemines LNG Phase 2 and Golden Pass LNG.

In 2025, US Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) consumption is expected to continue its upward trend, driven by increasing LNG exports. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) predicts a rise in total gas consumption, including exports, from 102.3 Bcfd in 2024 to 105.5 Bcfd in 2025, with LNG exports being a major source of this growth. Specifically, the EIA projects a 19% increase in LNG gross exports to 14.2 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in 2025 and a 15% increase to 16.4 Bcf/d in 2026, according to their Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO).
