From a contributor correction:
The world's largest oil field is in Saudi Arabia and is the Ghwar oil field, which has pumped, although not continuously, 5 mbls in a single day. Although it has to be appreciated that you may be able to pump that much but your customers could probably not handle that much every day.

∙ 13y agoIn the yates oil field at Irran Texas one well produced 204,000 bbls on one day. Ironically the well is only about 1600 ft. deep. The wells in this field, which were drilled in the 20's, encountered the oil pay @ arround 1000 ft. deep. If one well has ever made more than 204,000 bbls. in one day I have never heard of it and I have been in the oil business 40 years.
