I thought it might be interesting to know which oil companies import Middle Eastern oil (for the period 9/1/00 - 8/31/01):
Shell....................205,742,000 barrels
Chevron/Texaco.......... 144,332,000 barrels
Exxon /Mobil............ 130,082,000 barrels
Marathon/Speedway....... 117,740,000 barrels
Amoco.................... 62,231,000 barrels
If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18 BILLION!
Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:
Citgo....................0 barrels
Sunoco............. ..0 barrels
Conoco............. ..0 barrels
Sinclair............... 0 barrels
BP/Phillips.......... 0 barrels
Hess...................0 barrels
All of this information is available from the Department of Energy and each is required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing.
I'm still trying to determine which of the above listed companies are actually U.S. owned... anybody know?
