Monthly US imports of Russian oil and petroleum products (MBbl/d) for 2019-Q1 2022.

• US imports of Russian oil increased from about 500 MBbl/d in 2019 to 670 MBbl/d in 2021. Through April 2022, US imports averaged 450 MBbl/d – down 150 MBbl/d compared to the average of the first four months of 2020 and 2021.
• President Joe Biden announced on March 8, 2022, that the US will ban imports of oil from Russia, along with refined petroleum products, natural gas and coal.
• According to the EIA, in 2021, Russia provided 8% of US imports of crude oil and petroleum products and only 3% of crude oil imports. Canada is the primary source of US petroleum imports representing over half (51%) of all US imports.
• Banning Russian oil had minor consequences on U.S. refineries or Russia as the oil destined for the U.S was redirected to other countries.
