MAY 2005 IMPORT HIGHLIGHTS (USA):

Released on July 26, 2005

Monthly data on the origins of crude oil imports in May 2005 has been released and it shows that two countries have exported more than 1.5 million barrels per day or more to the United States. Including those two countries, a total of five countries exported over 1.0 million barrels per day of crude oil to the United States (see table below). The top sources of US crude oil imports for May were Mexico (1.748 million barrels per day), Canada (1.722 million barrels per day), Saudi Arabia (1.430 million barrels per day), Venezuela (1.273 million barrels per day), and Nigeria (1.111 million barrels per day). The rest of the top ten sources, in order, were Iraq (0.588 million barrels per day), Angola (0.341 million barrels per day), Ecuador (0.238 million barrels per day), Kuwait (0.213 million barrels per day), and United Kingdom (0.194 barrels per day). Total crude oil imports averaged 10.166 million barrels per day in May, which is a decrease from April of 0.148 million barrels per day. The top five exporting countries accounted for 72 percent of United States crude oil imports in May and the top ten sources accounted for approximately 87 percent of all U.S. crude oil imports.
