IRVINE, Calif., July 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Phoenix Energy One, LLC ("Phoenix Energy" or the "Company"), an independent oil and gas exploration and production company operating primarily in the Williston Basin of North Dakota and Montana, today announced that it has surpassed a production rate of 50,000 barrels of oil per day, a defining milestone in one of the most rapid growth stories in the U.S. energy sector.
Phoenix Energy crossed the 50,000-barrel-per-day threshold in mid-July 2026, with daily production reaching approximately 50,700 barrels on July 19, 2026. The achievement reflects sustained, disciplined growth over the past few years. The Company's output has climbed from roughly 100 barrels per day at the start of 2024, when Phoenix Energy was a nascent producer, to more than 50,000 barrels per day today. This includes year-over-year production growth of approximately 60% from June 2025 to June 2026.
Founded in 2019, Phoenix Energy has scaled rapidly within the Bakken, one of the most prolific and strategically important oil-producing regions in the United States. The Company is now established as a prominent and fast-growing operator in the basin, and attributes its trajectory to a differentiated three-pronged strategy that combines direct drilling, royalty acquisition, and non-operated working interests. The strategy helps Phoenix Energy grow production while diversifying its exposure across the value chain.
"Reaching 50,000 barrels of oil per day is an important milestone for Phoenix Energy. It reflects the discipline, focus, and hard work of our entire team," said Adam Ferrari, Chief Executive Officer of Phoenix Energy. "In just over two years, we've grown from a modest production base into one of the fastest-growing producers in the Williston Basin. But 50,000 barrels per day is not a finish line. Instead, it is a foundation for continued responsible development and operational excellence in our quest to deliver long-term value."
Chief Operating Officer David Scadden added, "Scaling production to this level while maintaining operational integrity requires precision throughout the organization. I couldn't be prouder of our field and technical teams, whose execution has made this growth possible. We are excited to build on this milestone."
