And I posted this to you and if you had looked at the URL at all you might have noticed " doe.gov/pub/oil_gas/petroleum/data ".....
Then after posting this info to you...you are welcome.... you suggested I look up the DOE web site which it appears I just posted to you.
September 2004 Import Highlights: Released on November 15, 2004
eia.doe.gov
Monthly data on the origins of U.S. crude oil imports in September 2004 has been released and it shows that three countries each exported 1.5 million barrels per day or more of crude oil to the United States; in addition, two other countries exported over 1.0 million barrels per day of crude oil to the United States (see table below). The top sources of U.S. crude oil imports in September 2004 were: Canada (1.711 million barrels per day), Saudi Arabia (1.567 million barrels per day), Mexico (1.527 million barrels per day), Venezuela (1.070 million barrels per day), and Nigeria (1.012 million barrels per day). Rounding out the top ten sources, in order, were Iraq (0.623 million barrels per day), Angola (0.361 million barrels per day), Kuwait (0.327 million barrels per day), Ecuador (0.285 million barrels per day), and Algeria (0.187 million barrels per day). Canada returned as the number one supplier of crude oil to the U.S. reaching their highest average ever, while crude imports from Nigeria set a record-high level for the month. Total crude oil imports averaged 9.667 million barrels per day in September, a decrease of 0.847 million barrels per day from August. The top five origins accounted for 71 percent of U.S. crude oil imports in September and the top ten sources accounted for 90 percent of all U.S. crude oil imports.

Now in your last post to me you said...." The DOE website is very complicated and filled with all kinds of data..... I sent you the WP story that appeared right before the invasion which quoted up to date numbers at that time.... I will look at DOE, but will it convince you of anything?
I don't want to waste my time ".....
Sooooo, let me ask you did the information I posted to you convince you of anything or was I just " wasting my time "? |
