By decade, production averaged most in the 1980s (56 Mbbl/d); the 2020s so far average 10. The highest month in that year was December 1985 at 64 Mbbl/d.

The latest monthly figure is 8 Mbbl/d for July 2026, compared with 8 a year earlier; the 12 months to then averaged 8. Michigan ranks just above with 11 Mbbl/d (it moved ahead of Alabama in 2021) and Kentucky just below with 5. EIA estimated Alabama's proved crude oil reserves at 26 million barrels at the end of 2021, 17th among states; reserves are a separate measure from production.
