Or, another way to think about it is that if we didn’t import or export finished products, our crude oil imports would have been lower in 2013 as some of those oil imports were used to refine products for export.

This 1.1 million BPD net export of finished products partially offsets our crude oil imports. is a dominant player in both oil and natural gas production, China holds the top spot as the world’s largest fossil fuel producer, largely because of its significant production and consumption of coal. Russia is the third largest oil producer with 10.7 million barrels per day, while Canada ranks fourth with 5.4 million barrels per day. In 2013 the US exported 3.2 million barrels per day (BPD) of finished products like diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel, and imported 2.1 million BPD of finished products. The United States is the largest oil producer in the world, with an output of 17.9 million barrels per day, followed closely by Saudi Arabia with 10.8 million barrels per day. One caveat is that while the “Delta” gives an idea of whether a country is a net importer or exporter, it doesn’t include the impact of finished product imports and exports. Thus, among the Top 10, they are the only two countries that are net importers of oil. It’s just that both countries consume more than they produce.

Many people may not realize that while the US and China are the world’s leading oil consumers, they are also major oil producers. Their definition excludes liquid fuels from other sources such as biomass and derivatives of coal and natural gas (e.g., coal-to-liquids, or CTL). Note that BP’s definition of “oil” includes crude oil, tight oil, oil sands and natural gas liquids (NGLs - the liquid content of natural gas where this is recovered separately).
#Oil production by country 2013 update
Today I want to provide an update of the world’s Top 10 oil producers for 2013 based on the BP report. m. Crude oil production (1,000 b/d) 636: Marketed production of natural gas (million cu. In addition to being the world's largest oil producer, the United States also imports upwards of 8 million barrels. Crude oil production is heavily concentrated in a small number of countries and a small number of giant fields, with approximately 100 fields producing one. Non-ABB photo sources are given below pictures other pictures and illustrations are copyrighted by ABB. The US also consumes more oil than any other country worldwide.
#Oil production by country 2013 series
I have been diving into the report, and as always will write a series of articles based on the latest results. Apart from petroleum, the country’s natural resources include natural gas, iron ore, gold, bauxite, diamonds and other minerals. With a rough estimate of 11,567,000 barrels per day, the United States is the top oil-producing country in the world, as it has been for many years. This week BP (NYSE: BP) released their Statistical Review of World Energy 2014.
