U.S. crude oil production rose 269,000 barrels per day (bbl/d) to a record 10.964 million bbl/d in July, led by record output from Texas and North Dakota, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said in a monthly report on Sept. 28.

The agency revised its June production figure slightly higher to 10.695 million bbl/d in June.

U.S. crude production has surged thanks to a shale boom and now rivals top producers Russia and Saudi Arabia.

Oil production in Russia averaged 11.347 million bbl/d between Sept. 1 and Sept. 27 and was on track to reach another post-Soviet high, an energy sector source told Reuters on Sept. 28. Saudi Arabia meanwhile, produced 10.4 million bbl/d in August.

Production in Texas inched higher to a record 4.47 million bbl/d and output from North Dakota also hit a peak, rising by 41,000 bbl/d to 1.26 million bbl/d.

Meanwhile, natural gas production in the Lower 48 U.S. states rose to an all-time high of 92.7 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in July, up from the prior record of 90.9 Bcf/d in June, according to EIA's 914 production report.

Output in Texas, the nation's largest gas producer, increased to 24.6 Bcf/d in July, up 1.5% from June. That was the most since April 2016.

In Pennsylvania, the second biggest gas producing state, production rose to a record high 17 Bcf/d in July, up 3% from June. That compares with output of 14.7 Bcf/d in July 2017.
