By decade, production averaged most in the 1980s (491 Mbbl/d); the 2020s so far average 91. The highest month in that year was March 1981 at 562 Mbbl/d. Its share of U.S. output peaked at 6.4% in 1981.

The latest monthly figure is 65 Mbbl/d for July 2026, compared with 75 a year earlier; the 12 months to then averaged 68. Montana ranks just above with 79 Mbbl/d (it moved ahead of Louisiana in 2025) and Kansas just below with 70. EIA estimated Louisiana's proved crude oil reserves at 365 million barrels at the end of 2021, 10th among states; reserves are a separate measure from production.
