EIA reports that US crude oil production rose to a two-month high during February.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration reported on Thursday that U.S. crude oil production rose to 13,63 million barrels a day in February. This is the highest level since December.

The U.S. production of oil in February increased both from a month-to-month and yearly perspective. The?EIA data revealed that the average output in January of this year was 13.24 million bpd, and February last years was 12.60 million bpd.

The EIA data also showed that the U.S. demand for oil rose in February. This was primarily due to a?multi-year increase in demand of distillate fuel oil, which includes diesel and?heating oils.

The data revealed that the product supplied of crude and petroleum products - the EIA proxy for demand - averaged 21,14 million bpd?in February. This is up from 20,65?million?bpd?in January, and was the highest level since August last.

The EIA data revealed that the demand for distillate fuel oil rose from 4 million bpd to 4,21 million bpd by February. This is the highest level since February 2022.

The U.S. Gross Natural Gas Production from the Lower 48 States rose to?134.0 bcfd (bcfd), up from a record?132.0bcfd?in January, but down from 136.0bcfd?in December.

The EIA reported that the monthly output of gas in top-producing states in February increased by 2.8% in Texas to?38.3 Bcfd and by 0.4% in Pennsylvania to 21.4 Bcfd.

This compares to a monthly "all-time" high of 38.7?bcfd, in December 2025, in Texas; and 21.9bcfd, in December 2021, in Pennsylvania. Reporting by Shariq KHan and Scott DiSavino, New York. Editing by Kiri Donovan
