It depends on when the question is asked.

Saudi, Canada, Venezuela, and Mexico combine to produce 65% of U.S. oil imports. They each produce approximately 15% of the total U.S. imports, but variance in production means that any one of them at any time can be the major supplier of U.S. oil imports.

Assuming the question was not directed to imports, then the answer is the United States.

The U.S. produces about 51% of the oil it consumes.

What is really interesting is that the people who are soft in the war on terrorism are the same people who import almost all their oil from the middle east.

Oh, and they are the same people who stand to lose huge amounts of money if Saddam goes down.

Strange coincidence.

Sorry, but your government says otherwise. Here are quotes with linked references:


"U.S. domestic production is falling, not rising.

U.S. crude oil production peaked in 1970 at 9.6 million barrels per day (BPD). In 2000, U.S. crude production averaged 5.8 million BPD - 40 percent less than 30 years ago.

Over the same period of time, imports as a percentage of U.S. petroleum deliveries rose from 23 percent to about 57 percent today.

Proved U.S. reserves of crude oil have declined from 39 billion barrels in 1971 to 23 billion barrels by 1999.

In 1981, 315 refineries operated in the U.S. with a total capacity of 18.6 million BPD of crude oil and other inputs. Today, 155 refineries have a total capacity of 16.5 million BPD. The U.S. now imports more than a half a million barrels per day of finished motor gasoline just to meet demand. "

See: http://www.senate.gov/~rpc/releases/1999/en100201.htm



"In 1993, gross oil imports reached 50 percent of product supplied, and they are expected to continue growing over time.

The Annual Energy Outlook 1998 (AEO98) reference case projects that net dependence will exceed 50 percent in 2000 and rise to 66 percent in 2020"

Hmmm.

I may have to research this further.

The information I got was from a link to the DOE supplied by Phillips petroleum.

"Canada is overall the largest energy supplier to the United States. This holds true for electricity, natural gas and uranium and for the first seven months of this year Canada was our largest supplier of oil, ahead of Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Mexico and the other big producers. And given the great potential for further development of Canada's vast resources, it will continue to grow as a major energy producer. Our countries also share immense pipeline, refining capacity and electricity grid infrastructure as well as significant cross investments. The United States is fortunate to have such a neighbor. "

Know what?

I have no argument with that whatsoever. That the U.S. is fortunate to have a neighbor like Canada, or Mexico for that matter.

I rather doubt either Canada or Mexico reciprocates the sentiment.

Um, yeah, Mexico is sure trying to distance itself from the US.

I thought they were trying to merge with the U.S. by sending up their entire population.

I was the first correct answer on the poll, just for the record, Counselor.

read the facts^^^

Russia was the biggest export of oil than any other country in the world before 1991 and the break up of the Soviet Union and can be again with Europe’s continuing help and it is not a member of OPEC.

Actually you could be right about the oil, but it’s the voices against the war that have that in mind as a problem not the UK or the USA.

Living in California, I'm used to a large hispanic population.

What blew me away was when a friend of mine in OKC was talking about all the immigrants.

 

[sloppyjoe]

The USA imports most crude oil from Mexico and Venezuela and the Persian Gulf but not Iraq....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also Canada but not as much!

Also Nigeria and even the UK!

and some others.

There should be some sort of punishment for overexcited and excessive use of exclaimation points.

I mean, sloppy, dude .. do you really exclaim everything you say?

Why be right when you can punctuate?

Not directed to Sloppy. More a generic comment.
