According to the EIA, the US produces about 5 million barrels per day (Mbd) domestically. Some of that is exported; we import, gross, about 13.8 Mbd, making our total consumption about 18 Mbd. About 6 Mbd of our imports come from OPEC countries, including about 2.2 Mbd from the Persian Gulf. Saudi Arabia is our biggest supplier in the Gulf, responsible for 1.5 Mbd (about 8% of our total consumption). Interestingly, though, our major suppliers are our nearest neighbors - Canada and Mexico. Both of them give us more oil individually than Saudi Arabia, Canada 2.5 Mbd (14% of consumption) and Mexico 1.6 Mbd (9% of consumption).

Let’s assume 20million barrels of oil a day demand.
About 5millions barrels are produced domestically.
About 0.5million is natural gas liquids, used in place of oil.
The rest is imported. Primary importers are Western Hemisphere- Mexico, Canada, and Venezuela

I'm not sure if you want to know this part, but there are gas companies that do not buy foreign oil. However, I've been told that if those companies have a shortage, they buy it from the other companies that buy foriegn oil.
