American oil production is at record levels and growing 📈 @EIAgov reports production rose 2% in the first half of 2026 compared with a year earlier, averaging 13.7 million barrels per day. American energy is adding critical supply as global markets remain volatile.

American producers are delivering record energy ⚡ @EIAgov projects record U.S. oil production in 2026, driven by growth in the Permian Basin and new offshore projects in the Gulf. Continued investment helps strengthen U.S. energy security and meet demand at home and abroad.

A stronger economy starts with smarter permitting  📈 An @ICF analysis commissioned by API found permitting reform could support nearly $24 billion in tax revenue by 2030.
