Summary

The EIA’s September 22 analysis says publicly traded companies represented 2% of approximately 12,000 U.S. producers in 2025 and supplied 68% of combined oil and gas production in the contiguous 48 states.

Why it may matter to operators

The comparison uses barrels of oil equivalent and excludes Alaska and Hawaii. It describes extraction, not service-station market share. The EIA identifies Enverus as its data source.
