Top 5 Oil Importing Countries in 2023

1. United States

Crude Oil Imports (barrels/day) as of 2017: 7,969,000

The United States ranks #1 on our list of Top 20 Oil Importing Countries in 2023 given crude oil imports of 7,969,000 barrels per day in 2017 according to the CIA. In December 2021, the U.S. imported over 6.1 million barrels per day according to CEIC Data.

While the U.S. remains an importer of crude oil, U.S. government statistics showed that the country’s net crude oil imports declined to 1.1 million barrels per day in November of 2022, down from net imports of around 7 million barrels per day in 2017.

If U.S. oil production continues to increase, the country could potentially be a net exporter of crude oil within a few years if not in 2023.
