Oil and Gas Production Lookup by State and County

Last reviewed June 2026

Check how much crude oil and natural gas a state produces, then drill into county level figures where we have loaded them. State totals are the latest from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. County figures come straight from each state oil and gas agency, starting with Illinois and expanding from there.

Quick answer: Pick a state to see its latest EIA crude oil and natural gas totals, then type a county to see county level production where it has been loaded. Illinois county figures are available now, with more states added from each state oil and gas agency. Whether your minerals sit in a producing county is one of the first things a buyer checks before making an offer.

State County, optional

How to read these numbers

Crude oil is shown in barrels and natural gas in cubic feet, for the most recent year each source reports. A county that produces oil or gas is a county where leasing is active and where buyers compete for mineral and royalty interests, so it usually means a wider gap between the first unsolicited letter and the real number. These figures describe an area, not your specific tract. What your interest is worth still depends on your net mineral acres, whether it is leased or producing, the royalty rate, and current prices.
