Growth in oil production in the Middle East in 2025.
Global crude oil output rebounded in 2025, with Middle East producers reversing production cuts.
In 2025, global crude oil production rebounded by nearly 3% after a year of stagnation, rising twice faster than over the 2010-2019 period.
Indeed, OPEC+ producers fully reversed their 1.65 mb/d production cuts (announced for the May 2023-December 2026 period), leading to strong increases in Saudi Arabia (+6%), the United Arab Emirates (+7%), Kuwait (+2%), and Kazakhstan (+11%). However, some OPEC+ members could not raise production such as Russia (-1%) or Iran (OPEC member not submitted to quotas) whose production remained stable.
Meanwhile, crude oil production continued to grow in large non-OPEC+ producers such as the USA (+3%), Canada (+4%), China (+1%), Brazil (+10%), Norway (+4%), Nigeria (+7%), or Qatar (+1%). On the contrary, production declined by 6% in Mexico over depleting reservoirs.

Powering Growth, Not Emissions
Global growth returns to pre-crisis patterns—but emissions are not decreasing fast enough for climate goals. As renewables surge and electricity demand accelerates, fossil fuels remain dominant. Discover the key trends reshaping energy and decarbonisation across the G20 in 2025.
