Where Our Oil Comes From

Where Our Ojl Comes From As both an essential resource and a finite one in our world, oil is often at the root of conflict. Relations between countries grow tense as oil consumption rises. How much oil does the United States import annually, and from whom do we get it? Where do the world's proven oil reserves lie? See how this affects you at the gas pumps, too. -In 2011, the US Domestically Produced... 2,070,494,000 666CCO barrels of oil The U.S. doesn't produce enough oil to fuel its entire economy - Total US Oil Imports Over the Past 10 Years 3,820,979,000 Barrels of Oil Imported 3900000 3700000 3500000 3,590,628,000 3300000 2001 2003 2005 2007 2009 2011 Customs Value $300,000,000,000 $225,000,000,000 $150,000,000,000 $74.292,894,000 $188,711,776,000 $75,000,000,000 2001 2003 2005 2007 2009 2011 $100 Price Per Barrel $99.78 $75 $50 $21.40 $25 2001 2003 2005 2007 2009 2011 The price of oil is soaring.

From Crude to Cruising: The Relationship Between Oil and Gas I barrel of oil = 42 gallons %3D Current price per barrel $105 $2.50/gallon טטטטט טטטטט hanalpa טטטטטטמה 19 gallons of gasoline $3.91/gallon Gas price per gallon at the pumps is 56% higher than crude! all figures as of March 2012 After all that, we deserve to know what we're really buying when we fuel up. – What Are We Paying For? 11% Taxes 5% Distribution & Marketing 12% Refining 72% Crude Oil We rely on crude not just for driving but for countless other uses in our modern world. But oil is a finite resource, and we need to know where we can count on getting it in the future. -Who Has the Most Proven Oil Reserves?- Proven oil reserves may grossly underestimate the actual amount of potential oil, since they don't take into account any oil deemed off-limits for environmental reasons or that may be otherwise unrecoverable. Still, it's helpful as a base for estimation.
