Virginia

Virginia stands in stark contrast to the rest of the country when it comes to oil production per capita, earning the distinction of having the lowest rates in the United States. The state’s relatively modest contribution to the nation’s oil production reflects its focus on other industries and energy sources.

On the other hand, Alaska ranks at the top for oil production, thanks to its abundant oil reserves and vast petroleum industry. The contrast between these two states highlights their differing economic landscapes and priorities, with Alaska relying heavily on its oil resources while Virginia has diversified its economic base.
