US oil and gas numbers The number of drilling rigs operating in the U.S. today is 631, down 17 percent from a year ago. By contrast, the number of rigs operating overseas has increased. In addition, the U.S. is currently producing 12.8 million barrels of oil per day, still below the 13.1 million barrels each day we achieved under President Trump.
The ANWR is a potentially rich source of future U.S. oil and gas, with recoverable reserves estimated at as much as 16 billion barrels of oil and natural gas liquids. Potential daily peak production would be over 1 million barrels per day, a significant increment to current output.
