The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service will host the AgriLife Extension Crop Production and Protection Seminar Dec. 18 at locations across the Panhandle and South Plains.

The speakers will be virtual, but AgriLife Extension agents in almost every county of the agency’s District 1, headquartered in Amarillo, and District 2, headquartered in Lubbock, will host an in-person event for producers to attend, said Danny Nusser, AgriLife Extension program leader for the North Region.

AUSTIN – The state’s major energy industry reached new peaks last year with records set for both oil and gas production. The Railroad Commission regulates the Texas oil and gas industry and tallies production reports submitted by operators.  

Oil production hit a record 1.92 billion barrels in 2023, which was 51 million barrels more than the previous record. Operators produced 12.01 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in 2023, beating the previous record by more than 13%.

Statewide and county crude oil and natural gas production for November 2023 came from 162,789 oil wells and 86,491 gas wells.

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. For full oil and gas production statistics, you can visit the links below.
