"There is no way that the U.S. oil production data is correct." Anonymous comment

Been wondering about all the data points the administration has been putting out, but the oil production numbers have been a little strange.

Oil production is increasing every month, except May, in 2025. Strange is that I couldn't find another year that happened. Probably because it's nearly impossible to have increasing production month after month after month. (Please correct me if I'm wrong)

Here is the data:

Dallas Fed Energy Survey Dec 17, 2025 where the quote was taken. It's anonymous BTW.
