A high-level heatmap of where oil and gas is produced across the counties, parishes and reporting areas we cover — a bird's-eye view, not a well map. Toggle oil and gas below.
Production reporting period: 2025-01–2026-09.
Last complete dataset refresh: . Individual counties may contain newer records from a partial refresh.
Reporting periods vary by county and may contain gaps. A missing month is not assumed to have zero production. Production months and dataset refresh dates are different from regulator publication dates.

Brighter areas produce more. Aggregated to one point per county, parish or reporting area from Buckhead Energy analysis of public oil and gas data, for the latest recorded calendar year and preceding calendar year; a high-level activity view, not a well map.
This map shows where oil and gas is produced across the United States — a heatmap by county, parish or reporting area covering roughly 25 states, from Buckhead Energy analysis of public oil and gas data. U.S. oil and gas production is heavily concentrated: a relatively small number of counties, led by the Permian Basin of West Texas and southeastern New Mexico, account for the majority of output. Brighter regions have larger production totals in the reporting period shown.
By recent production, the leading oil and gas states are Texas, New Mexico, North Dakota, Colorado, Alaska, Oklahoma, Wyoming, California. Texas leads by a wide margin. Explore each state's reporting areas in the county production pages or the production dashboard.

Every point represents a county, parish or reporting area — the average surface location of its wells — weighted by its oil and gas production in the latest recorded calendar year and preceding calendar year. The figures are Buckhead Energy analysis of public oil and gas data; months reported by fewer than 3 wells are left out. It is intentionally high-level: one point per reporting area, not individual wells. Each area's recent monthly series is on its county production page.
Which U.S. states produce the most oil and gas?
By recent production in Buckhead Energy's county dataset, the leading states are Texas, New Mexico, North Dakota, Colorado, Alaska, Oklahoma. Texas is by far the largest oil and gas producer, followed by the other major shale and legacy basins.
