Doug Burgum leads the National Energy Dominance Council. He said the administration achieved historic gains in energy production and affordability.
He said gasoline prices have dropped to some of the lowest levels in years. He also noted rising American energy exports and streamlined permitting.
Record oil output under National Energy Dominance Council
Federal officials reported record domestic oil production in 2025. The White House said output reached 13.6 million barrels per day.
Officials said this figure exceeds previous records set during the Biden administration. They said Trump surpassed earlier production levels within months.
Natural gas and LNG exports rise
Natural gas production reached 110.1 billion cubic feet per day in November 2025. Officials said this was the highest level since tracking began in 1973.
The United States also expanded its lead as the top liquefied natural gas exporter. LNG exports averaged 15 billion cubic feet per day in 2025.
Policy goals and economic impact
The administration said regulatory actions reduced barriers to energy development. Officials said these policies strengthened U.S. leadership in global energy markets.
Critics warned that reduced renewable support could affect long-term sustainability goals. The White House said higher domestic output supports economic stability and national security.
Creation of the National Energy Dominance Council
President Donald Trump created the National Energy Dominance Council on February 14, 2025. The executive order aimed to reduce bureaucracy and boost U.S. energy production.
Officials said the council works to speed permits and expand energy exports. They also aim to lower energy costs and support economic growth.
