Crude oil supply chain

Hover a band for its value.

Band width is the amount. Bands are coloured by where they start and named at both ends; hover a band for its value. Outside the 7 largest on the left and the 10 largest on the right, flows are grouped as Others; the table lists every one. UN Comtrade, as importers report it, except Ecuador → Panama, United States → Thailand, Colombia → Panama and 249 smaller flows, marked in the table, as the exporter reports them: the main flows only, so the totals are of the flows shown, not of all trade. Potash and phosphate are in tonnes of product, not of nutrient.

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.
