RSSTop 15 Net Oil Importing Nations – 2006
The United States relies heavily on imported oil for its petroleum needs, getting approximately 60% of its daily supply from foreign countries. Japan, the second largest importer, is almost completely dependent upon foreign supply. In 2006, China imported approximately one-half of the oil that it consumed.
Note: Data for the year 2006 is used in many of the charts in this series because it represents the latest year for which the U.S. Department of Energy has collected a complete set of information for all of the oil producing and consuming countries of the world. This provides the data that is used to accurately rank the countries in many categories. The DOE has not yet finished collecting all of the data from 2007. As a result, updated rankings for 2007 are not yet available. As can be seen in other charts in this section, sufficient data is available in some cases to produce accurate charts for the year 2007 and the year 2008 to date.
