In the US, petroleum accounts for about 35% of total energy consumption. This includes its use in transportation, heating, and industrial processes. Oil remains a significant source of energy despite efforts to diversify towards cleaner alternatives.
As of 2019, natural gas accounted for approximately 32% of the total energy consumed in the United States.
In the US, about 20 percent of electricity
The US has a great deal of petroleum, and deposits are located all over the US.

The US does use it's own petroleum sources. It doesn't produce enough for it's own demands. Petroleum exported by the US is not in as high a demand within the US.
We use it all the time when using electricity, about 20 percent in the US
"Net petroleum imports (imports minus exports) accounted for 58 percent of our total petroleum consumption. About 48 percent of our net petroleum imports were from countries in the Western Hemisphere, 22 percent from Africa, 18 percent from the Persian Gulf , and 12 percent from other regions." http://www.eia.doe.gov/bookshelf/brochures/gasoline/index.html
