By decade, production averaged most in the 1980s (45 Mbbl/d); the 2020s so far average 12. The highest single month was December 2011 at 80 Mbbl/d.

The latest monthly figure is 10 Mbbl/d for July 2026, compared with 11 a year earlier; the 12 months to then averaged 10. Pennsylvania ranks just above with 12 Mbbl/d (it moved ahead of Arkansas in 2015) and Alabama just below with 8 (Arkansas moved ahead in 2022). EIA estimated Arkansas's proved crude oil reserves at 35 million barrels at the end of 2021, 16th among states; reserves are a separate measure from production.
