Source: EIA International Energy Statistics, annual averages — each row shows its latest reported year (countries report with different lags). Producers are crude oil including lease condensate; consumers are total petroleum and other liquids, so the two tables use different definitions and aren't directly comparable.

Production & Consumption FAQ

What country produces the most oil?

The United States is the world's largest oil producer at 13.59 million barrels per day of crude oil (including lease condensate) in 2025, ahead of Russia (9.89 Mb/d) and Saudi Arabia (9.56 Mb/d). Counting all petroleum liquids, the US lead is even larger.

What country consumes the most oil?

The United States consumes the most oil at 20.61 million barrels per day of petroleum and other liquids in 2025, followed by China (16.37 Mb/d, 2024) and India (5.60 Mb/d, 2024).

Why do "oil production" figures differ between sources?

Definitions differ. Crude oil including lease condensate (used for producers here) excludes natural-gas liquids, biofuels and refinery processing gain; "total liquids" figures include them and run several million barrels a day higher for countries like the United States. Always check which definition a source uses.
