   HOUSTON, TX (DTN) -- Total energy production in the United States rose for 
the fourth consecutive year after reaching 107 quadrillion British thermal 
units  in 2025, a 3.4% increase year-over-year, according to the most recent 
Energy Information Administration's Monthly Energy Review data.

   Total output was driven by record-high production in natural gas, crude oil, 
natural gas plant liquids, and renewables.

   Dry natural gas production rose to a record-high 39 trillion cubic feet last 
year, which was 4% higher than the output reported in 2024, primarily driven by 
the Appalachia, Permian, and Haynesville regions. The United States maintained 
its position as the largest natural gas producer in the world since 2011, 
according to the agency.

   Crude oil production amounted to 13.6 million barrels per day during 2025, 
3%, or 350,000 barrels per day, higher than the previous year. "Most of that 
growth occurred in the Permian region of western Texas and southeastern New 
Mexico. Crude oil accounted for 26% of domestic energy production," the EIA 
said.

   During 2025, production of NGPLs - hydrocarbons separated as liquids during 
natural gas processing - climbed 7% year-on-year  to a record 4 Tcf, 
representing 9% of domestic energy production.

   Coal accounted for 10% of domestic energy production in 2025 as it rose to 
533 million short tons, a 4% increase versus the prior year and after two years 
of declining production.
