Oil exporters and importers by country, output minus use

Net exporters produced 46.1 m b/d of oil more than they used in 2024. The largest net exporters: Saudi Arabia 7.2 m b/d, Russia 6.7 m b/d and Iraq 3.5 m b/d. The largest net importers: China 11.0 m b/d, India 4.7 m b/d and Japan 3.1 m b/d.

211 countries and territories have a figure for 2024. Net trade is total oil output (crude, natural gas liquids and other liquids) minus oil use, as EIA estimates them; it is not a customs figure. Crude alone would show the United States as a large importer, though it is a net exporter of oil overall. Flows on the map are the largest crude oil flows in 2025, as importers report them to UN Comtrade (HS 2709). Flows into the United States are EIA’s crude oil imports by country of origin, in barrels a day. Converted from tonnes at an average 7.33 barrels a tonne; heavy crudes (Canada, Venezuela) hold fewer barrels a tonne, so their flows read up to about 15% high. The latest year is preliminary: EIA revises it as countries report.
