October 2016 Import Highlights
Monthly data on the origins of crude oil imports in October 2016 show that two countries, Canada and Saudi Arabia, exported more than one million barrels per day (b/d) to the United States (see table below). The top five exporting countries accounted for 80% of United States crude oil imports in October while the top ten sources accounted for approximately 93% of all U.S. crude oil imports. The top five sources of U.S. crude oil imports for October were Canada (3.2 million b/d), Saudi Arabia (1.0 million b/d), Venezuela (724,000 b/d), Mexico (555,000 b/d), and Iraq (508,000 b/d).
