where does us get its oll

The U.S. gets a lot of its oil from Canada , and other major suppliers include Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Brazil. The U.S. also produces a large share of its own oil, so imports are only part of the picture.

Quick Scoop

• Biggest source: Canada, which supplied 57% of U.S. crude oil and petroleum imports in 2025.

• Other top suppliers: Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Brazil.

• Domestic production matters: The U.S. produces about 40% of the oil it uses itself.

• Why Canada is so important: Geography and pipeline access make Canadian oil easier and cheaper to move into U.S. refineries.

In simple terms

A common myth is that most U.S. oil comes from the Middle East, but today the main flow is from North America , especially Canada.
