What country refines the most oil?

I disagree, it's right here in America in the Gulf of Mexico. I used to work for United Pipe out of Houston, Texas.





They just pump out the crude and send it to our refineries in the Gulf. We also have refineries on the West Coast, New England refineries. The rest is sent up the Mississippi River to Saint Louis.What country refines the most oil?
The world's oil supply comes from a wide variety of sources. While the Middle East (home to the largest OPEC producers) was the largest producing region in 2004, with 29 percent of total world production, North America accounted for 19 percent, with the remaining 52 percent dispersed fairly evenly throughout the globe. OPEC member countries together accounted for about 40 percent of world total oil production in 2004, up from 38 percent in 2003.





According to the chart shown, it is Russia.What country refines the most oil?
Definetely is the USA because they are the top consumer of Oil. Doesn't mean the country richest in oil or the largest exporter of oil will refine most oil.


It's a common misconception.
Saudi arabia.
