I’m sure it won’t come as much of a surprise to learn that the US uses a LOT of oil.

How much is a lot?

Well, according to data from the US Energy Information Administration, in 2015 the US consumed an average of 19.4 million barrels per day.

So where does all that oil come from?

Well, native production (crude oil produced in the US) currently stands at around 8.5 million barrels per day. Which leaves a shortfall of over 10 million barrels.

To make up that shortfall, In 2015, the US imported an average of 9.4 million barrels a day — with around 40% of that (3.75 million barrels per day) imported from neighbors Canada.

To visualize where America gets its oil, California based financial services company Yegg Inc have created this animated heat map, which shows 20 years of US oil imports in just 20 seconds.

The takeaway: America gets oil from wherever it can get its hands on it!

Although, it’s also interesting to see the growth in imports from Russia from the mid 2000s onwards.
