US crude oil production hit another post-1986 production record with 8.592 million barrels per day.
If there is a similar oil production surge from the Texas oil fields then the US could break 9 million barrels per day by September, 2014. This would be more than any year since the mid-1970s. In 1970, there was a peak of 9.637 million barrels per day.
