The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimated that U.S. crude oil production averaged 12.1 million barrels per day (B/D) in March, up 0.3 million B/D from the February average. The EIA forecasts that U.S. crude oil production will average 12.4 million B/D in 2019 and 13.1 million B/D in 2020, with most of the growth coming from the Permian Basin region of Texas and New Mexico.
