US Oil Production 9% higher than peak in 1970 and will be about 20% higher next year

EIA estimates that U.S. crude oil production averaged 10.9 million barrels per day (b/d) in June. EIA projects that U.S. crude oil production will average 10.8 million b/d in 2018, up from 9.4 million b/d in 2017, and will average 11.8 million b/d in 2019.
