Answer:

hope it helps..

Step-by-step explanation:

Production by American oil companies ended up exceeding even U.S. government expectations. From 1940-1945, overall U.S. production increased by 30% from 3.7 million barrels per day to 4.7 million barrels per day. The Permian quickly became responsible for nearly 25% of the world's oil and gas production.
