Only 4 countries have ever topped global oil production since 1973: the US, USSR, Saudi Arabia, and Russia.
The USSR and Saudi Arabia each led for 17 years, while Russia held 9 and the U.S. reclaimed the top with 8 years, mostly after the shale boom.
Top producers have peaked at 9–12 million barrels/day, but the US once dropped as low as 5 million in the 2000s.
Nigeria peaked at 2.5 million barrels/day in 2005 and 2011, but never reached the top five.
Global crude oil production grew by over 26 million barrels per day between 1973 and 2023—an increase of nearly 47% over 50 years.
