@mods: Propose updated title "Alaska Field Production of Crude Oil Sets New Record Low"
That would also be editorializing.
"Alaska Field Production of Crude Oil" would be a less helpful title, and it seems...redundant to write a blog post solely to make the observation follow convention.
What, exactly, is the new record?
Record low perhaps? Yeah it isn't clear here.
The data doesn't even show a record low. The latest data point is markedly above se of the ones before it.
Besides, presumably Alaskan oil production was once zero - just this record doesn't go far enough back.
