U.S. crude oil production rose in June by 1.7% to its highest since April 2020, according to a monthly report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) on Aug. 31.
Oil production rose to about 11.8 million bbl/d in June from about 11.6 million bbl/d the month prior, the report showed. Producers cut back drastically on output in 2020 after pandemic lockdowns slashed demand, and companies have been gradually boosting production.

New Mexico output rose 2% to 1.5 million bbl/d in June, highest on record. Output in Texas fell 0.1% to just under 5 million bbl/d in June, lowest since February.
