What percentage of oil in the US is produced domestically?
Approximately 33% of our oil is produced domestically. I used the most current data from the US Department of Energy, Energy Information Agency, which is an excellent site for information. There has been a long term declining trend to our domestic oil supply. For the first 8 months in 2008, US oil production has been about 5.1 million barrels per day, while imports have about 10 million barrels per day. I ignored Sept 2008 data as hurricane activity made the data anomalous. See: http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/dnav/pet/pet_sum_crdsnd_adc_mbbl_m.htm
