U.S. Immigration: Recently, the world energy statistics released by British Petroleum (BP) indicate that in 2014, the daily crude oil production in the United States surpassed that of Saudi Arabia, making it the largest oil producer in the world. This marks the first time the United States has held the top position since 1975, a gap of 39 years. This is due to the strong momentum in shale oil production in the United States in recent years.
According to BP's data, the global daily crude oil production reached 88.673 million barrels in 2014, an increase of 2.3% year-on-year. The United States saw a year-on-year increase of 15.9%, with a daily production of 11.644 million barrels, surpassing its previous record. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia's production was 11.505 million barrels, with a modest increase of 0.9%. Russia's production increased by 0.6%, reaching 10.838 million barrels. In recent years, Saudi Arabia and Russia have been competing for the top position in the world. The United States has increased its production by over 1 million barrels annually for three consecutive years.
