Here's an overall assessment (the numbers) of Trump's high oil production #s and Biden's low (2021 & 2022) >>
(note) -this is a copy/paste from post of mine from a year ago ) before Biden started revving up for the 2024 election >>>
Trump's last month in office was January 2021 - production was
345 MB/mo. Bidens first month was
277.
A DROP of a whopping 68 MB/mo. Yeah, I'd call that NOSEDIVE.
Trump' oil production months by far exceeding any of those of Joe Biden.
Trump production
December 2019 -
402.3 Million Barrels/month
January 2020 -
398.4
And Trump exceeded Biden's top month of
371.2 Million Barrels/month
NINE TIMES, despite the Obama low production influences and later, the pandemic months reductions. And note also that Biden's top production month of
371.2, was recently in August of 2022, when he started increasing production, to try to lower gas prices, as we started getting closer to the 2022 ELECTION.

And no matter what you say, when Biden took over, he intentionally had oil production nose dive, and that's just what it did. Not rocket science. Just compare Biden's average monthly oil production for 2021,compared to Trump's average monthly oil production for 2019.
Biden's 2021 average is
341 Million Barrels/month compared to Trump's
374.
Biden's 2022 average (when he ramped up production as the 2022 election drew closer) wasn't much better >
354.
And that "most" of 13 million Barrels /day (Trump's total for Dec. 2019) was a lot more than Biden's "most" of 10 Million B/d

Here's part of how Biden reduced oil production and his production was so relatively low. (in addition to stopping the Keystone Pipeline, changing oil company forecasting scenarios, thereby reducing production in accordance)

And it hardly matters if Biden's numbers increased or decreased. The LEVELS of them are what points to his reductions of production.
Biden's 19 production months have ranged from
277 Million Barrels/mo to his high of
371 Million Barrels/mo. In the same span of 19 months before the pandemic shutdowns really hit in April of 2020, Trump's production months went from
343 to 402.
The median of these for Biden is
324. For Trump -
372
Twisting it and spinning it any way anyone wants to, the bottom line is Biden intentionally cut oil production, and the numbers bear that out.
IMPORTANT * The real Trump #s would be immensely higher, if we extended the graph line of Trump's rising numbers as they were going before the pandemic drop.
Look at the graph line where it peaked at 402 Million Barrels/mo in December of 2019. Because of the climb up to that point, there is every reason to believe, that had the pandemic shutdowns not occured,
that rising line would have continued rising exactly as it was already doing. And if Trump had remained president, and we thereby
extend-extrapolate the line to as far as December 2022, we can easily see that it would be at about
580 Million Barrels/mo
(209 million Barrels/mo more than Biden's measly 371 Million).
Go ahead - put a ruler on the line that starts at 2017 when Trump took over, and look at where it goes to for December 2022 > 580 Million
what is self-evident, is that
OVERALL, Trump's numbers (580 Million Barrels/mo) tower over Biden's puny numbers.
They tower over Biden's puny numbers even without looking at Trump's numbers continuing his rising graph line to December 2022, if he were still president.
Just his numbers from when he was president, are far above Biden.
Here's something else that should make for some good informative reading, to explain how
Biden cut oil production, to fulfill his promises to do just that, in the 2020 debate with Trump. And he wasted no time in doing it - just a few days after taking office >>>

New executive orders will target federal subsidies for those industries and
halt new oil and gas leases on federal lands and waters.
