- 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.
Mexico Crude Oil and Condensate Production was 1,875 Thousand Barrels Daily in 2023, up 5% on 2022. The Crude Oil and Condensate Production dataset of Mexico from 2015 to 2023 provides a clear and consistent view of the country’s oil production landscape, highlighting production trends, crude oil output, condensate volumes, and overall supply patterns throughout the review period.
Mexico Crude Oil and Condensate Production moved from 2,267 Thousand Barrels Daily in 2015 to 1,875 Thousand Barrels Daily in 2023 (−17.3%), an average of −2.3% a year. The series high was 2,267 Thousand Barrels Daily in 2015 and the low 1,701 Thousand Barrels Daily in 2019.
The gap between the series high (2015) and low (2019) is 566 Thousand Barrels Daily. The sharpest single-year move was −9.6% in 2017.
Among the 28 countries in this dataset, Mexico ranks 10 for 2023, behind U.S. (12,927 Thousand Barrels Daily) and Russia (10,554 Thousand Barrels Daily). It accounts for 2.3% of the global total in 2023.

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 million barrels per day, the dataset reflects the volume of crude oil and condensate produced from domestic oil fields, making it an important indicator of upstream petroleum activity, resource development, production capacity, and national energy supply.
Mexico produced 2.27 million barrels per day of crude oil and condensate in 2015, declining to 2.15 million barrels per day in 2016 and 1.95 million barrels per day in 2017. Production continued to decrease to 1.83 million barrels per day in 2018 and 1.70 million barrels per day in 2019, reflecting lower output from mature oil fields and reduced production capacity. In 2020, production stabilized at 1.71 million barrels per day, followed by gradual improvements to 1.76 million barrels per day in 2021 and 1.79 million barrels per day in 2022. Output increased further to 1.88 million barrels per day in 2023, marking the highest production level since 2018 and indicating a modest recovery supported by new developments and production optimization initiatives.
Overall, the dataset illustrates an overall decline in Mexico's crude oil and condensate production during the first half of the review period, followed by gradual stabilization and recovery after 2020. Although production remains below the levels recorded in 2015, the recent upward trend suggests improving operational performance and renewed efforts to strengthen domestic oil output. The dataset provides valuable insights for monitoring production performance, evaluating upstream investment, forecasting supply trends, supporting energy policy formulation, and assessing the long-term development of Mexico's petroleum sector for policymakers, researchers, investors, and industry stakeholders.
