- Crude Oil and Condensate Production refers to the total volume of crude oil and lease condensate extracted from oil and gas reservoirs within a country during a given year.
Europe Crude Oil and Condensate Production was 2,944 Thousand Barrels Daily in 2023, up 0.5% on 2022. The Crude Oil and Condensate Production dataset of Europe from 2015 to 2023 provides a clear and consistent view of the region’s oil production landscape, highlighting production trends, crude oil output, condensate volumes, and supply patterns over the observed period.
Europe Crude Oil and Condensate Production moved from 3,186 Thousand Barrels Daily in 2015 to 2,944 Thousand Barrels Daily in 2023 (−7.6%), an average of −1% a year. The series high was 3,212 Thousand Barrels Daily in 2020 and the low 2,929 Thousand Barrels Daily in 2022.
The gap between the series high (2020) and low (2022) is 283 Thousand Barrels Daily. The sharpest single-year move was +5.7% in 2020.
Within Europe, UK has the highest value in 2023 at 659 Thousand Barrels Daily, 22.4% of the regional total.

Data definition
Crude Oil and Condensate Production — - Crude Oil and Condensate Production refers to the total volume of crude oil and lease condensate extracted from oil and gas reservoirs within a country during a given year. It is typically measured in thousand barrels per day (kb/d) and represents the production of unrefined liquid hydrocarbons before processing or refining. Crude oil is the naturally occurring liquid petroleum extracted from underground reservoirs, while condensate is a light hydrocarbon liquid that separates from natural gas when pressure and temperature decrease during production. This indicator provides insight into a country's upstream petroleum production capacity, resource availability, and contribution to global oil supply.
The data includes the production of crude oil extracted from conventional and unconventional oil fields, as well as lease condensate recovered at the wellhead or during field processing before refining. It covers both onshore and offshore oil production and includes output from integrated oil and gas operations where condensate is produced alongside natural gas. Production is reported before refining and excludes downstream petroleum processing activities. The dataset is compiled using standardized international energy reporting methodologies based on national production statistics and industry data, enabling consistent comparison of crude oil and condensate production across countries and over time.
The data excludes refined petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel, kerosene, fuel oil, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and other products obtained through refinery processing. It also excludes natural gas production, natural gas liquids (NGLs) other than lease condensate, synthetic fuels, biofuels, oil shale products, and petroleum derived from coal-to-liquids or gas-to-liquids processes unless specifically stated in the reporting methodology. The indicator does not measure crude oil reserves, exports, imports, domestic consumption, refinery throughput, or production value. Minor differences may occur due to variations in national reporting standards, condensate classification, and estimation methodologies across countries.

Measured in thousand barrels daily, the dataset reflects production across major European producers, making it an important indicator of regional energy supply, upstream activity, and hydrocarbon production performance.
Europe produced 3,186 thousand barrels daily of crude oil and condensate in 2015, remaining nearly unchanged at 3,180 thousand barrels daily in 2016 before declining to 3,124 thousand barrels daily in 2017. Output continued to ease to 3,103 thousand barrels daily in 2018 and 3,040 thousand barrels daily in 2019. Production temporarily increased to 3,212 thousand barrels daily in 2020 before falling to 3,096 thousand barrels daily in 2021 and 2,929 thousand barrels daily in 2022. A slight recovery brought regional production to 2,944 thousand barrels daily in 2023. The UK remained the largest listed producer, rising from 903 thousand barrels daily in 2015 to 1,019 thousand barrels daily in 2019 before declining steadily to 659 thousand barrels daily in 2023. Italy fluctuated between 78 and 113 thousand barrels daily, ending at 88 thousand barrels daily, while Denmark declined consistently from 158 to 60 thousand barrels daily. Production from the remaining European countries remained the largest contributor, ranging from 1,829 to 2,137 thousand barrels daily throughout the period.
Overall, the dataset indicates a gradual long-term decline in Europe's crude oil and condensate production, reflecting mature oil fields and changing upstream investment. The data supports assessments of regional oil supply, production performance, energy security, and long-term market planning for policymakers, researchers, and industry stakeholders.
