U.S. crude oil production fell by 185,000 bbl/d in August to 11.14 million bbl/d, down from a revised 11.33 million bbl/d in June, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)said in a monthly report.
The move came as offshore crude production fell by 312,000 bbl/d in the month, the report said. Offshore output was hit at the end of August as Hurricane Ida approached and eventually made landfall; at one point, most U.S. Gulf offshore was offline.
The three biggest producing states, Texas, New Mexico, and North Dakota, all showed a modest increase in output.
Gasoline demand was 9.1 million bbl/d in the month, while demand for diesel and other distillate fuels was 3.9 million bbl/d, according to the report.
Meanwhile, monthly gross natural gas production in the U.S. Lower 48 states rose 1.3 Bcf/d in August to a 17-month high of 106 Bcf/d, the EIA said in its monthly 914 production report.
That was the first time gas output rose for three months in a row since January.
Gross gas output peaked at 107.4 Bcf/d in November 2019. In top gas producing states, output rose 0.2% in Texas to 29.4 Bcf/d in August and 3.9% in Pennsylvania to a record 21.8 Bcf/d.
Production peaked at 30.3 Bcf/d in Texas in January 2020.
