   "Oct 12 (Reuters) - U.S. crude oil production climbed to a record 13.2   
   million barrels per day, government data showed on Thursday, topping the   
   previous peak set in 2020 before the coronavirus pandemic decimated   
   global oil demand.   
      
   Oil output in the U.S. has recovered slowly over the last three years as   
   producers preferred to return cash to shareholders through dividends and   
   buybacks rather than spend on increasing production."   
      
   Thanks, Joe!
