Oil Production Rises in July; New Rig Added in Eddy County
What happened
U.S. oil production increased in July 2026, reaching 13,948 kb/d, an increase of 104 kb/d. This rise was primarily due to contributions from Texas (36 kb/d) and New Mexico (49 kb/d). The production increase may be linked to the recent addition of 20 Hz oil rigs in Eddy County. Future production forecasts show expected dips in August before rising again after September through August 2027.
