...of oil and natural gas? That's what Trump just said in his SOTU speech. I never heard this before.
Is this true?

Natural gas, yes. Oil, not even close.

We are the number 3 oil producer, Russia(1) and Saudi Arabia(2) produce more.
As now_what said we are number one in natural gas and have been so long before Trump was President.
OK. Thank you. I'm surprised that the US even has the most natural gas. I know we don't have the most oil; I heard Venezuela has the largest oil deposits.
Russia has more than Venezuela?

"producer" not oil reserves. We refine more oil than anyone in the world. Russia and Saudi Arabia put more oil on the international market, but that's not what Trump said... America is the #1 producer of oil and natural gas, that's correct.

produuction wise - yep. Russia is huge. Venezuela has an awful lot of trouble preventing them from ramping up production.
Thank you for straightening that out for those who didn't understand what was said and meant.

Different links say different things. I saw this one first:

Further research shows this one:

and this one:

three different sources - three different answers.
Do you have a link? Oil we are ranked 2 or 3, depending on the source. Where do you see us at 1?
Ah, thanks PNW. I stand partially corrected.

Russia and Saudi Arabia export more oil than we do, but America refines more oil than they do, we use most of our oil in our domestic market. Obama deserves credit for this one. He pushed for energy independence and built a shit ton full of pipelines.

think "producer" IOW think "refining"... don't think "exporter". Be careful what you search.

Half our country is shut off from development by government hoarding of our resources. Otherwise, we'd produce almost as much as Russia and Saudi Arabia combined (18.4 to 20.5). Besides, the Arabs never developed any oil technology and hate us for proving how mentally inferior they are.
if you would have checked stats you wouldn't look so stupid with your OP
