Bloomberg

From 2008 to 2018 the amount of oil produced by the US, Canada and Brazil almost doubled. These three countries now produce roughly one quarter of the world’s oil, according to BP’s annual Statistical Review of World Energy 2019.
The US alone in this time has more than doubled its oil output and effectively grabbed an additional 8 percentage point slice of the world’s oil production. Annual oil production data by country shows the US with a world leading 16.2 percent share of global production last year. In 2008, the US ranked third in the world with an 8.2 percent share. The top two a decade ago, Saudi Arabia and Russia, now trail at 13 percent and 12.1 percent of total 2018 production, respectively.
Other countries with the largest gains in production over the last decade, following the US, are Iraq, Canada, Brazil, and the United Arab Emirates. Canada ranked seventh in the world in 2008 with a 3.9 percent world share but it rose to fourth globally with a 5.5 percent share last year. Iraq moved up six spots to sixth in the world. Kazakhstan also moved up six spots to 13th among the world producers.
