🇺🇸 U.S. Oil & Gas: The U.S. sits on 46 billion barrels of proved crude oil reserves, with 60% of that locked in dense underground rock. The Permian Basin, which stretches across West Texas and southeastern New Mexico, pumps out 6.6 million barrels a day on its own, more than every OPEC country except Saudi Arabia. Zoom out, and the U.S. is the single largest oil producer on the planet at 13.6 million barrels a day, out-producing both Russia (9.1M) and Saudi Arabia (9.3M). On natural gas, it isn't close: America produced a record 43.2 trillion cubic feet in 2025, roughly a quarter of the world's supply and more than Russia and Iran combined. The U.S. sits on world-class reserves and out-produces every petrostate.
