Averaged by decade, the 2020s so far (46 Mbbl/d) are the highest in the series, against 9 in the 1980s. The highest month in that year was September 2020 at 61 Mbbl/d.

Monthly output swung between 36 (July 2026) and 49 (October 2025) over the past 12 months; the latest figure is 36 Mbbl/d for July 2026. Kansas ranks just above with 70 Mbbl/d and Mississippi just below with 28 (West Virginia moved ahead in 2019). EIA estimated West Virginia's proved crude oil reserves at 23 million barrels at the end of 2021, 18th among states; reserves are a separate measure from production.
