US Oil consumption from the US Energy Information Agency, 20.5 million bbl per day in 2018...

From the same federal agency, who’s job it is to gather and produce the data, US production averaged but 11 million bbl per day in 2018...

It’s your choice if you want to believe something else. But the data is crystal clear.

Or, it’s possible your assertion is that the US has somehow increased production by nearly 10 million bbl per day in 2019, above already RECORD production.

And, in fact we are the world’s largest producer of crude. But it’s still short of consumption by 40-50%.

Or it’s possible you are missing something.

In addition, many drilled wells have been capped waiting for better prices. That can be brought on line very quickly, but does not count as production.
