USA Now World’s Biggest Crude Oil Producer - Business -

The United States is now the world’s biggest crude oil producer, pushing Russia and Saudi Arabia to the back seat.

In the week ending November, the U.S. crude production hit a whopping 11.6 million bpd, according to Energy Information Administration (EIA) data released on Wednesday.

That’s a threefold increase from the U.S. low reached a decade ago, and a 22.2 percent rise just this year. It makes the United States the world’s biggest producer of crude.
