Originally Published 1 year ago — by Markets Insider
The US has maintained its position as the world's largest oil producer for six consecutive years, with its 2023 production reaching a record high unlikely to be surpassed by any global competitor in the near future, according to the Energy Information Administration. Despite a slowdown in growth, technological advancements have made US production more efficient, leading to a remarkable turnaround from a 62-year low in 2008. However, the future of US production remains uncertain due to factors such as private operations, merger activity, and changing financial priorities of public companies.
