Crude oil and natural gas production as reported to the Railroad Commission of Texas for June 2021 came from 166,923 oil wells and 85,439 gas wells.
The RRC reports that from July 2020 to June 2021, total Texas reported production was 1.4 billion barrels of crude oil and 10.1 trillion cubic feet of total gas. Crude oil production reported by the RRC is limited to oil produced from oil leases and does not include condensate, which is reported separately by the RRC.
