How many barrels of U.S crude oil is imported in a day from Iraq?

And what percent of oil is imported to the U.S in the whole world?

Just thought i'd ask.

Edit: after the war started that is.

They rarely get the full two million though.

I bet not too many barrels are actually getting produced in Iraq these days.

Total import 55%

From Iraq as of 2003 470,000 barrels per day.

and was surprised that Canada is the largest exporter to the US.:wow:

Oil from Alberta mostly, natural gas from the Maritimes... and China's getting interested, so Chimpy better think twice before he pisses us off and we decide to join OPEC! :evilgrin:

Saudi Arabia and Mexico are pretty darn close to Canada's 17%, too.

While their production is almost up to 2 million barrels a day (they used to produce 3.5 million barrels per day), they're only back up to exporting about a million barrels a day now.

Here (from October 2004):

The world has lost Iraq's oil
http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/editorials/2004-10-05-iraqi-oil_x.htm

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — The costs and benefits of America's occupation of Iraq vary, according to proponents and opponents, except when it comes to oil exports. The U.S.-led invasion has resulted in the loss of an average of 2 million barrels a day of Iraqi oil from world markets. That is a significant number with huge consequences for economies around the globe.

Instead of rosy promises by the neoconservatives of the Bush administration who pushed for the invasion — partly on the premise that they would turn it into America's private gasoline-pumping station — the contrary has occurred.

The world has lost Iraq's oil.

:shrug:

Been a lot of "Freedom Bombs" since then.

basically our imports from Iraq are the same now as in 03. I would have thought they'd be lower now.

.470 in millions is 470 thosand barrels a day, which is the same figure essentially.

Is that right?

Although I would bet that 2004 was lower.

Look I just found this report there

<http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/aer/pdf/perspectives.pdf>

on page 8, figure 28, it shows how they are gouging us and driving the Crude price up, by filling the "Strategic Oil Reserve, Not when Oil is Cheap, (like in 1998 when it fell below $10.00 per barrel), but in 2002 and 2003, when it was at or above $40.00 per Barrel.

There is all kind of info there, you just have to snoop around a bit to find it. And it's all Legal, because your Taxes Paid for that data to be collected.
