My data lags current production/ consumption. Note that to be a top exporter, one must subtract local consumption from total production. Top five exporting countries per 2006 are Saudi Arabia, Russia, Norway, Iran and United Arab Emirates (UAE). See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum
Nigeria has significant crude oil reserves, being one of the top oil-producing countries in Africa.
Before answering, note that the top 5 oil exporting countries will be a bit different from the top 5 oil producing countries, which on the latter list, Russia and the US are at the top two spots. So, the top 5 oil exporting countries are:Saudi ArabiaRussiaIranUAENorway
Nigeria is the largest oil producing in the world with her bad government.
Four countries to which oil is transported are the United States of America, China, India, and Japan. The US and China are the top importers of crude oil.

It should be: China, Germany, USA, Japan, and France (in this order).
There are no absolute five, but most of our oil comes from OPEC. (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) OPEC is made up of small middle-eastern countries that are small in size, and have few sources of external revenue other than oil. They export not only crude oil, but gasoline as well. It was OPEC in the 70s during Carter's term that made gasoline expensive. The US also gets oil from some of its own reserves, such as those in Texas, the West, Alaska, and some offshore drills in either the Gulf or off the coast of Alaska. The US government wishes to conserve US oil for as long as possible, however, and chooses to get most of its oil from outside sources. As of July 2005 the USA imports petroleum (including crude oil) from these top five exporting countries. (It also imports from 10 other countries, in smaller amounts) '''Country (Thousand Barrels per Day)''' * Canada (2,079) * Saudi Arabia (1,689) * Venezuela (1,623) * Mexico (1,593) * Nigeria (1,156) Source: www.eia.doe.gov/pub/oil_gas/petroleum/data_publications/company_level_imports/current/import.html Uisge
Yes, Libya is one of the top 20 suppliers of crude oil to the U.S.
