America is not part of OPEC (Organization of PetroleumExporting Countries) because we do not export oil - only a very small amount. Also, OPEC was created by and for the participating countries (majorly Middle East and third world) to guarantee that they would profit from America's use of oil - we are the biggest consumers of oil in the world.

What Natural Resource does OPEC control the production price and distribution?

OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) controls the production, price, and distribution of oil, which is a significant natural resource. OPEC member countries collectively produce a large portion of the world's crude oil and play a key role in influencing global oil market dynamics.


How does OPEC stabilize the market price of oil?

OPEC stabilizes the market price of oil by controlling the production levels of its member countries. By adjusting production quotas, OPEC can influence the supply of oil in the market, which in turn affects prices. Additionally, OPEC meetings allow member countries to coordinate and align their production decisions to achieve price stability.


What are the five oil importing countries to the us?

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
