Preliminary monthly data on the origins of crude oil imports in April 2006 has been released and it shows that two countries have exported more than 1.60 million barrels per day to the United States. Including those countries, a total of five countries exported over 1.00 million barrels per day of crude oil to the United States (see table below). The top sources of US crude oil imports for April were Canada (1.710 million barrels per day), Mexico (1.601 million barrels per day), Saudi Arabia (1.582 million barrels per day), Venezuela (1.171 million barrels per day), and Nigeria (1.022 million barrels per day). The rest of the top ten sources, in order, were Iraq (0.531 million barrels per day), Angola (0.338 million barrels per day), Ecuador (0.312 million barrels per day), Algeria (0.256 million barrels per day), and Kuwait (0.225 million barrels per day). Total crude oil imports averaged 9.781 million barrels per day in April, which is a decrease of 0.047 million barrels per day from March 2006. The top five exporting countries accounted for 73 percent of United States crude oil imports in April and the top ten sources accounted for approximately 89 percent of all U.S. crude oil imports.
Canada was the largest exporter of total petroleum products in April, which continues to be the case in 2006 thus far, exporting 2.223 million barrels per day to the United States. That is slightly below the year to date average for Canada (2.254 million barrels per day). The second largest exporter of total petroleum products again this month was Mexico (1.749 million barrels per day) which was a decrease from last month of 0.052 million barrels per day. Algeria had a bit of a decrease in crude oil exports, but a solid increase in total petroleum exports to the U.S. when compared to volumes last month.
