- Oil production rose 9% in 2025 from 2024.
Production
- provisional . Months in the hatched zone are partly reported. The part not yet filed is estimated. That estimate draws on our own production forecast. The forecast is provisional. It updates as filings arrive
Still arriving: Jul 2026 3% filed, Aug 2026 <1% filed.
All from what the source published. All held at well grain.
How the volume breaks down
- 97.5% Reported by the official source by well
- 0.00% Reported by the official source as a lease, facility, field or state total. Published without per-well detail.
- 0.51% Reported by the official source as a lease total, split across the lease's wells. The regional total shown is the reported number, to rounding.
- 2.0% Reported by the official source for a longer period, spread across its months. The period total is the reported number.
- 0.00% A series adjusted so a total meets a published figure: a well's own cumulative from the official source, or a state's yearly total from a second official source.
Every barrel through April 2026 starts from what the official source published for those months. Measured over January 1930 to April 2026.
The gray “Reported without well detail” band is volume the source reports above the well: fields, facilities, or leases the source publishes as one total. It is included so the stack still sums to the whole entity.
- filling in (est.) . Months in the hatched zone are partly reported. The part not yet filed is estimated from recent production rates. It updates as filings arrive
Still arriving: Aug 2026 <1% filed.
All from what the source published. 99.87% held at well grain.

The bands group wells by when they first produced.
About this chart
The stack shows what is holding today's rate up and how much of it is new drilling. In the reported months the bands draw the filings already in. The months still filling in are marked.
These volumes are the production from the wells and facilities this company operates. Ownership works differently: other parties hold interests in these wells, and this company holds interests in wells that other companies operate. How we attribute production to a company
In Texas, production is reported for an oil lease or unit as well as for individual gas wells. Those lease and unit totals are divided among the wells they cover, and every Texas barrel is labeled reported or allocated. How well-level Texas production is built

About this map
Undetermined means not enough signal to settle it. Producing wells are the ones that reported oil or gas in the trailing 12 months per region.
Type curves
Horizontal wells only. Average production per well, for wells grouped by when they first produced.
How these curves are built
Horizontal wells only: 2,416 of the 2,620 wells in these cohorts. Average daily production per well, drawn against the cohort’s cumulative production per well on a log rate scale, for wells grouped by when they first produced. Includes every well of the cohort that is old enough at each month. Wells that are shut in or have stopped producing count as zero, so the average reflects the full cohort, not just survivors. Rates are calendar-day (volume ÷ days in month). The cumulative axis accumulates those same monthly averages at the average month length. Months not yet fully reported are excluded. The 2010-2014 curve draws those years as one group. The chart opens on average daily rate against months on production; the view control switches to rate against cumulative production per well (the log-rate form described above) or to cumulative production per well against months. Every view draws the same cohorts from the same production history. Each cohort with a dashed curve is solid through the last month all of its wells sit inside fully reported data. Past it the dashed curve carries the same wells forward, on our forecast where a well’s own record ends, for up to five years. A dashed curve runs as far as at least nine in ten of its wells are accounted for. A cohort with no dashed curve is drawn only through the months where at least 30% of its wells are old enough for the month to be fully reported. A well that is old enough but shut in still counts, as zero. The measured months are what these wells reported. In the forward months each well counts its own reported figure for each month it has one, our forecast for each month it has only that, and zero for the rest. The forward average counts every well of the cohort. The drawn forecast runs up to five years past the measured months. Line thickness tracks how many wells each curve is drawn from. 77 wells are counted here but not shown on the age axis: they started producing in 2001 or earlier, too close to the start of our records for their region to verify their true age.

Recent permitting
About this chart
Approvals of every permit type per month, the 24 months to Aug 2026. The last bar is Aug 2026 through August 31, 2026 (18 so far), drawn hatched. Of the 166 approved in the 365 days to August 31, 2026, 163 are permits to drill a new well and 3 are recompletion permits. Permits to drill a new well: 163 in the 365 days to August 31, 2026 and 44 in the last 90 days of that window. How permits are counted.
- BP was granted 166 well permits in the 365 days to August 31, 2026. Of those, 44 came in the last 90 days of that window. The latest approval on record is dated August 31, 2026.
- Of the 166 approved in the 365 days to August 31, 2026, 163 are permits to drill a new well and 3 are recompletion permits. Permits to drill a new well: 163 in the 365 days to August 31, 2026 and 44 in the last 90 days of that window.
- Permits counted here come from Alaska, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas.

Benchmark cells compare our series with the EIA’s published estimates.
About the EIA comparison
The two are produced differently: the EIA estimates from a survey of the largest operators and a model built to anticipate late filings, while the series compared here are rebuilt from the source’s own records as they arrive. Recent months can differ without either being wrong; the methodology page explains both methods.
Coverage rows for BP are regenerated at every build from the same catalog of sources the data is built from.
