does the United States export crude oil?

Answer 1

Does the U.S. export oil?
Surprisingly, yes - but the amount is trivial, about 20,000 barrels per day vs. their 10,000,000 and more b/d imports. All exported crude goes to Canada, where it is likely refined and sent back to USA as gasoline.

This link from the US Energy Information Administration shows a chart of US oil exports and imports for July and August.

Crude Oil exports change from month to month but almost all of the crude oil produced in the US is used domestically. Only a small percentage is exported.

Alaska Panhandle crude used to be exported to Japan, but that stopped in 2000. Alaska still exports natural gas to Japan and some other countries.

In 2004, the U.S. exported over 1,000,000 barrels of oil. It imported over 13,000,000. These figures are average, per day.
