Geographic Feature: Arizona

Thursday, August 20, 2026. ARIZONA ENERGY PROFILE: Arizona has negligible oil and natural gas production, with no significant proved reserves and output that is minimal or often zero in recent monthly data. CRUDE OIL PRODUCTION: Production levels (EIA monthly data shows Arizona field production typically at 0-1 thousand barrels per month in 2024-2026; e.g., 2024 and 2025 mostly 0-1; early 2026: Jan/Feb/May 0, Mar/Apr 1; annual totals in low thousands of barrels or less). Historical context (main producing area is Dineh-bi-Keyah field, Apache County, on Navajo Nation land, produced ~19 million barrels total since 1967, peak output far higher than current levels, now around 12,000 barrels/year or less; other wells contribute minimally). NATURAL GAS: Production (data largely NA/withheld or indicates no meaningful production; Arizona is not a notable gas-producing state). RESERVES & GEOLOGY: Reserves (EIA and other sources state Arizona has no significant proved crude oil or natural gas reserves; geology in most of state not conducive to commercial hydrocarbons). LEASE ACTIVITY (2026): BLM proposed sale (BLM proposed December 2026 oil and gas lease sale covering ~40 parcels and 78,708 acres in northwest Arizona, near Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument/Littlefield area; first such sale since 2018; scoping occurred in 2026, does not reflect current production). OVERALL RANKING & SCALE: National ranking (Arizona ranked ~30th nationally for crude oil in older data, e.g., 2014, but produces tiny fraction of U.S. totals; production almost entirely from tribal lands). Supporting context (EIA state profiles and historical series confirm minimal output; articles note reliance on imports, pipelines from CA/TX/NM for petroleum products, no refineries in-state). ENERGY PROFILE: Energy mix (emphasizes consumption: natural gas ~43-46% of electricity generation, plus nuclear and growing solar, rather than local fossil fuel extraction). No major production increases (no major production increases or new fields indicated for 2026 beyond potential lease sale). THE READ: Arizona negligible oil and natural gas production, no significant proved reserves, output minimal or often zero recent monthly data; EIA monthly data 0-1 thousand barrels per month 2024-2026, 2024 and 2025 mostly 0-1, early 2026 January/February/May 0, March/April 1, annual totals low thousands barrels or less; Dineh-bi-Keyah field, Apache County, Navajo Nation land, ~19 million barrels total since 1967, peak output far higher, now 12,000 barrels/year or less, other wells minimally; natural gas data NA/withheld or no meaningful production, not notable gas-producing state; no significant proved crude oil or natural gas reserves, geology most state not conducive commercial hydrocarbons; BLM proposed December 2026 oil and gas lease sale, ~40 parcels, 78,708 acres, northwest Arizona, Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument, Littlefield area, first sale since 2018, scoping 2026, does not reflect current production; ranked ~30th nationally crude oil older data 2014, tiny fraction U.S. totals, production almost entirely tribal lands; EIA state profiles historical series confirm minimal output, articles reliance on imports, pipelines California/Texas/New Mexico petroleum products, no refineries in-state; emphasizes consumption, natural gas ~43-46% electricity generation, plus nuclear and growing solar, rather than local fossil fuel extraction; no major production increases or new fields indicated 2026 beyond potential lease sale. Capital preservation first. Trade the data, not the headlines.
