The U.S. produces — mb/d of crude, split across five Petroleum Administration for Defense Districts (PADDs). PADD 3 (Gulf Coast) dominates — offshore platforms plus the onshore Permian Basin — followed by the shale-rich PADD 2 Midwest (Bakken, Niobrara). The Permian alone now produces more crude than any OPEC member besides Saudi Arabia.

SOURCE · U.S. Energy Information Administration, Petroleum Supply Monthly (Tables 1-3, crude oil production by PADD and state) and Weekly Petroleum Status Report (national total). PADD shares and state-level numbers are scaled allocations of the EIA weekly total until the monthly state series is wired into update_data.py. "Tight oil" sums the seven EIA-tracked plays (Permian, Bakken, Eagle Ford, Niobrara, Anadarko, Appalachia, Haynesville).
