<P> This is a list of countries by oil production, as compiled from the U.S. Energy Information Administration database for calendar year 2016, tabulating all countries on a comparable best - estimate basis . Compared with shorter - term data, the full - year figures are less prone to distortion from periodic maintenance shutdowns and other seasonal cycles . The volumes in the table represent crude oil and lease condensate, the hydrocarbon liquids collected at or near the wellhead . The volumes in the table do not include biofuel . They also do not include the increase in liquid volumes during oil refining ("refinery gain"), or liquids separated from natural gas in gas processing plants (natural gas liquids). </P> <P> Under this definition, total world oil production in 2016 averaged 80,622,000 barrels per day . Approximately 68% came from the top ten countries, and an overlapping 44% came from the fourteen current OPEC members, highlighted with blue shading in the table below . </P> <P> The top three producers have in recent history been (alphabetically) Russia, Saudi Arabia, and the United States . Each of these countries experienced major production declines at different times in the past, but since 2014 all three have been producing near their peak rates of 9 to 11 million barrels per day . Saudi Arabia and Russia also top the list of oil exporting countries, while Russia is not a member of OPEC . The monthly U.S. oil production reached 10.07 million b / d in November 2017, the highest monthly level of crude oil production in U.S. history . In early 2018, the U.S. government forecast the country will become a net oil and gas exporter by 2022, the first time since 1953 . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> </Th> <Th> Country </Th> <Th> Oil Production (bbl / day, 2016) </Th> <Th> Oil Production per capita (bbl / day / million people, 2016) </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> -
