About Oil Production Live
Track U.S. and global crude oil production in real time, sourced directly from the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
What This Site Does
Oil Production Live is an independent data tracking tool built for energy market followers, investors, students, journalists, and anyone who wants a fast, clear view of how much oil the United States and the world are producing right now.
Most energy data online is buried inside government databases, PDF reports, or subscription platforms designed for industry professionals. Oil Production Live takes a different approach — clean dashboards, live counters, and plain language context that makes production data accessible to anyone, not just analysts and traders.
Our Data Source
All production data displayed on this site comes from the U.S. Energy Information Administration — the EIA — which is the statistical and analytical agency of the U.S. Department of Energy. The EIA is the most authoritative and widely cited source for U.S. and international energy data, publishing weekly U.S. production figures and regular international production estimates drawn from government and industry sources worldwide.
The EIA data we use is completely free and publicly available. We present it in a faster, more visual format than the EIA’s own interface — but the underlying numbers come directly from their published datasets.
What We Track
- U.S. crude oil production in barrels per day, updated weekly from EIA data
- Real-time animated production counter estimating current output based on the latest weekly figures
- WTI and Brent crude oil benchmark prices, updated daily
- Global oil production totals across the world’s major producing nations
- Country-by-country production rankings with share of world output
- 12-week U.S. production history with trend visualisation
Part of the Data Pulse Live Network
Oil Production Live is published by Data Pulse Live, a growing network of focused data tracking sites built around public information that people search for every day. Other properties in the network include Gas Prices Live, which tracks U.S. retail gasoline prices across all 50 states using AAA data.
A Note on the Counters
The animated production counters on this site are estimates based on the most recently published EIA weekly production figures. The EIA reports U.S. crude oil production weekly — the counter animates in real time based on that figure divided down to a per-second rate. It is a visual representation of scale, not a live feed from individual oil wells. See our Methodology page for full details.
