Crude oil production from the Lone Star State also outstripped most countries ranked in the API data, placing the state 8th in overall global production. The 3,140 MBOPD being produced by Texas was only surpassed by OPEC’s three largest producers, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Iran, and other major oil producing countries like Russia, China and Canada.
