据全球石油新闻2019年12月2日华盛顿报道，新的政府统计数据显示，由于国内石油产量继续打破纪录，但与2018年相比增速明显放缓，美国石油产量增长同比下降了一半以上，而一年前美国石油产量平均日增210万桶。
根据美国能源信息署( EIA)公布的最新统计数据，今年9月份美国石油日产量平均达到了创纪录的1247万桶，比2018年9月平均日增96.5万桶。根据EIA的统计数据，2018年9月，美国石油平均石油日产量接近1150万桶，比2017年9月平均日增大约199万桶。
波士顿咨询集团能源影响中心高级主管杰米?韦伯斯特表示：“如果油价不大幅上涨，美国很可能会触及石油产量增长峰值，即便石油产量在未来仍处在峰值。”
2018年8月，美国石油产量同比增长似乎已达到峰值，平均日产量略高于1136万桶，比2017年8月平均日增211万桶。

US oil output breaks record, but growth is stalling: EIA
Year-on-year growth in US oil output, which was averaging over 2.1 million b/d a year ago, has fallen by more than half as domestic production continues to break records, but at a significantly slower pace than 2018, new government data shows.
US oil output averaged a record 12.47 million b/d in September, up 965,000 b/d from September 2018, according to the latest US Energy Information Administration data. In September 2018, US oil production averaged nearly 11.5 million b/d, which was up about 1.99 million b/d from September 2017, according to EIA.
"Without a substantial oil price increase, we have likely hit peak growth even as peak production remains in the future," said Jamie Webster, senior director at Boston Consulting Group's Center for Energy Impact.
Year-on-year US oil production growth seemingly spiked in August 2018, when output averaged just over 11.36 million b/d, a more than 2.11 million b/d jump from August 2017.
