We are a net exporter.

As of 2023, the United States imports around 18% of its petroleum products, which includes gasoline and distillates, based on data from the EIA. This means that roughly 18% of the oil used in the US is imported.

n 2022 the EU's energy demand was highest for oil and petroleum products reaching 21 532 PJ, of which 97.7 % was imported. For natural gas the demand in 2022 stood at 12 324 PJ, with 97.6 % of it covered by imports.

Where does US imports come from?

Canada: 52% of total petroleum imports and 60% of crude oil imports

Mexico: 10% of total petroleum imports

Saudi Arabia: 7% of total petroleum imports

Iraq: 4% of total petroleum imports

Colombia: 3% of total petroleum imports

Gas - Most imports came from Russia (88.4 Mt), Norway (54.1 Mt), USA (48.3 Mt), Iraq (37.2 Mt), and Kazakhstan (36.6 Mt). The origins of the crude oil imported to the EU have changed considerably due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

• Norway: 30.3%
  
  
• United States: 19.4%
  
  
• North Africa: 14.1%
  
  
• Russia: 14.8%, with 8.7% via pipelines and 6.1% as LNG
  
  
• United Kingdom: 5.7%
  
  
• Qatar: 5.3%
  
  Others: 10.3%
  
  
  Cut off the Saudi's, Iran, and a few other states and a lot of financing stops for weapons. The Ukraine war btw is largely about oil/gas.
