How much United States oil is exported?
There is no official answer to how much crude oil is being exported that is easy to find online. There is, however, a Forbes article dated July 3rd, 2008, that provides the following about refined products such as gas and diesel: "A record 1.6 million barrels a day in U.S. refined petroleum products were exported during the first four months of this year, up 33 percent from 1.2 million barrels a day over the same period in 2007. Shipments this February topped 1.8 million barrels a day for the first time during any month, according to final numbers from the Energy Department." Based on the Energy Information Agencies' (EIA) numbers, the US uses approximately 20 million barrels of crude a day. The EIA also reports that 1 barrel of crude (42 gallons) makes approximately 20 gallons of gasoline and 7 gallons of diesel. Assuming that most of the exported products are gasoline and diesel, and knowing from calculating that roughly 64% of a barrel of crude oil (which is the percentage of gasoline and diesel that comes out of a barrel of crude oil) can be refined into gasoline and diesel, then the 1.6 million barrels a day being exported represents roughly 2.2 million barrels of crude a day or about 10% of the crude oil used daily by the US. It may be accurate to say that no crude oil is being exported from the US, but up to 10% of our crude oil is being exported in the form of refined products. This makes the argument that the US has a shortage of refining capacity to handle the US market questionable at best. The assumption made here is that most of the refined products being exported are gasoline and diesel instead of other oil related products. If this assumption is way off, please post what the correct stats are and a reliable source for any correction.
How many barrels of crude oil are produced every year?
Worldwide oil production was 85.64 millon barrels per day in the third quarter, 2008 and 85.69 million barrels per day in the second quarter, 2008. I can only give you an approximate estimate for worldwide oil production for the full year 2008 as the fourth quarter production is not yet available. It is likely to be down from the prior quarters. Based on average of 85 million barrels per day, worldwide production would be 30.7 billion barrels for the full year. Looking at data from 2004 to 2007, production has been in the range of 82.9 to 82.86 million barrels of oil per day (30.2 to 31.3 billion bbls/yr) For further information, please see: http://www.eia.doe.gov/oil_gas/petroleum/info_glance/petroleum.html and you can find a spreadsheet with both US and International production on the lower left hand side of this webpage.
What country has the largest oil reserves in the world?
Sometimes a very simple question does not result in a simple answer. I could say the country is either Saudi Arabia or Venezuela, depending on whose numbers you trust the most. It is cited in many references that Saudi Arabia has the highest proved reserves, totalling 267 billion barrels. See links. However recently, Venezuela claims to have the most proven reserves, with 297 billion barrels. See second link and last link. Note that million and billion barrels is abbreviated MMbbls and Gbbls. Both Saudi Arabia and Venezuela have extensive oil deposits and for many years, Saudi Arabia claimed the most oil, with Venezuela more than 100 billion barrels less than Saudi Arabia. As shown on the related link, Venezuela has been raising its estimate of reserves for the past 5 years, and some of this oil may not be as "proven" as in the case of Saudi Arabia. To meet the proven category, it is necessary to show the oil can be commercially developed under existing technologies and oil prices. Also, the oil recovery factor should be conservatively estimated. Venezuela has extensive heavy oil deposits, and estimation of a conservative recovery factor may be subjective, allowing for overestimation of recovery. Their rapid increase in reserves has added skepticism of their claim to have the largest proven reserves in the world. Note the official OPEC estimate of reserves, in 2008 was 99.4 billion barrels. (see first link) Saudi Arabia has not revised their estimates in many years, and according to Wikipedia, some experts suspect that their estimate may also be overestimated.
