Only about 3% of US oil comes form Iraq!!!
April 2007 Import Highlights: Released on June 22, 2007
Monthly data on the origins of crude oil imports in April 2007 has been released and it shows that three countries have each exported more than 1.40 million barrels per day to the United States. Including those countries, a total of four countries exported over 1.00 million barrels per day of crude oil to the United States (see table below). The top five exporting countries accounted for 68 percent of United States crude oil imports in April while the top ten sources accounted for approximately 88 percent of all U.S. crude oil imports. The top sources of US crude oil imports for April were Canada (1.909 million barrels per day), Mexico (1.460 million barrels per day), Saudi Arabia (1.458 million barrels per day), Venezuela (1.182 million barrels per day), and Nigeria (0.891 million barrels per day). The rest of the top ten sources, in order, were Iraq (0.562 million barrels per day), Algeria (0.530 million barrels per day), Angola (0.514 million barrels per day), Russia (0.269 million barrels per day), and Brazil (0.175 million barrels per day). Total crude oil imports averaged 10.181 million barrels per day in April, which is a decrease of 0.167 million barrels per day from March 2007.
Canada remained the largest exporter of total petroleum in April, exporting 2.479 million barrels per day to the United States, which was an increase from last month (2.305 thousand barrels per day). The second largest exporter of total petroleum was Mexico with 1.572 million barrels per day.How much oil is coming out of Iraq??? who pumps it, who transports it, who refines it, where doesthe money go?
At first, it was Halliburton that was managing Iraq's oil right after the war started. When the Iraqi government formed, they turned the project over to LOI, Logistics Oil International, a British company that oversaw operations. I don't know who manages it now. The money goes to Iraq's government (I think), don't know where it went to under Halliburton or LOI.How much oil is coming out of Iraq??? who pumps it, who transports it, who refines it, where doesthe money go?
lots, millions of dollars worth every day, but who knows where its going. HINT bush%26amp;co. didnt drag all those poor soldiers out there for nothing!!! HINT 2: why do you think the iraqi president, who is no more than a puppet, receives a paycheck of 2,5 million every month( BUSH GETS 600 THOU.) POOR KID.

How to refine (car, truck vehicle...etc) used black oil?
I do not believe that it will be economically worthwhile to do this. You may filter the oil but some of the oil molecules has been chemically changed and a filter will not remove them.
Comparing the cost of the damage to your motor to buying new oil I will say buy the oil.How to refine (car, truck vehicle...etc) used black oil?
The viscosity of the oil is the most important part of oil. the sediment is not what makes you need to change your oil. As the oil is heated, and exposed to slight amounts of water in the fuel, it begins to hydrolyse, and loose its viscosity. This cannot be fixed.
However, used oil can be used in other industry which is why it should be recycled, and not thrown away.How to refine (car, truck vehicle...etc) used black oil?
You can't. Some people think that it you let the oil rest for a week that all the grime will solidify at the bottom of the container and the oil is good as new. But that's just B.S. Don't be cheap. You'll screw up your vehicle if you do it enough times.
Only way to re-refine it, is to basically send it back through the refining process (used oil is actually cleaner then what it actually was refined from in the beginning) so its why if you see re-refined oil being sold, its dirt cheap...
theres no way to do it at home......, not only will you have fuel and water condensation that you can't get out at home.... what about the additives in the oil? They wear out and need replacing.... zinc, moly, boron, etc etc.....

Is there a gas station in the U.S. that derives it's oil from U.S. sources and refines it in the U.S.?
It used to be nearly 40% and now it is around 33% of the oil used in the U.S. comes from the U.S..
Over two-thirds oil is NOT from OPEC.
2005:
OPEC: 4,816(Thousand of barrels a day)

no most of oil is drained out from muslim countries.

Why doesn't the U.S. refine all of it's own oil?
Why do we send millions of barrels of oil to the mideast to be refined and then buy it back at a premium?
Why not just refine our oil own oil into gasoline?
Wouldn't that make the price of gas really low?
Please base your answers on facts....not only on opinion.
Thanks!Why doesn't the U.S. refine all of it's own oil?
America does not have enough refineries. Democrats voted against building refineries.
99% of Republicans supported a law for allowing refineries to be built and 92% of Democrats voted against it.
Currently, America is importing gasoline because there are not enough refineries in America. That is a national security issue.

If the price of one barrel crude oil $100, what wil be the apprx price of refined 1 litr diesel & 1 litr petro?
With 158.99 litres in a $100 US barrel it is 37p per litre crude.
At the moment it is $78 US barrel, this is less at 29p per litre/
(using USD to GBP conversion of 1.7)

Why can't we explore for more oil, find it, and refine it for America's use?
...It is affecting us in many ways. It used to be that small, ';unsafe at any speed'; cars were not the norm; now they are. We are expected and pushed to drive cars that are smaller and smaller, and I'll bet $5.00 to a doughnut they are not nearly as safe, no matter how many airbags they contain. Our lawmakers want to increase the mpg, forcing our car makers to decrease the price of a vehicle, and up the price.
...No new oil refinery has been built in 30 years, but American has grown in population and businesses; both are dependent on oil.
...Oil was to be extracted in Alaska, in a minute area. Fears that the Alaskan pipeline and damage to the caribou proved unfounded - the caribou are thriving. So why can't we go after it?
...Are the environmentalists winning?
...Your courteous answer, please?Why can't we explore for more oil, find it, and refine it for America's use?
Yes, the environmentalists are winning based only on their hysterical doomsday prophecies.There are VAST amounts of oil in Alaska. Where do you people get your facts? We need to drill there and we need to refine it ourselves and we need to do it now. How high does gas have to go before you say enough is enough? The technology isn't there yet for us to stop using oil. When it is, I'll be first in line to buy an electric or hydrogen powered car,(that's affordable and runs longer than a couple of hours).Until then, we need to produce our own gas. Let's stop screwing around!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Why can't we explore for more oil, find it, and refine it for America's use?
SMALL CARS ARE VERY SAFE IF THEY ARE ALL SMALL..THE PROBLEM IS PEOPLE ARE TO FAT TO FIT ANYMORE..SO EXCEPT HIGH PRICES
Hello? it's 2008 and we've been looking for about 100 years. The USA or any gov't doesn't control or limit the Oil Industry -- which is multi-national, and has done what it wants/needs to get the oil forever... if its was worth the investment, it would already be done. (Environmentalist? what about realists?)
The USA has been through Nuclear Power as an alternative for about 50 of these years. We've delayed Solar Power for about 30-40 easily.. and cars were proven capable of running on many other options... although patents have been bought %26amp; disappeared faster than you can say ';where'd they put that thing at the end of the 'Indiana Jones' movie?'; Your answer is -- you are dealing with smoke %26amp; mirrors... because if there WAS vast oil reserves there, you'd be sure we'd have ALREADY a pipleline (like the one that exists!)... like we have huge pumps across the Gulf of Mexico and off the west coast...
Come on. The time for this has passed.. you believe something that's more ';look at the pretty balloon'; than a sound policy alternative... don't be fooled. It's 2008. You should be more alert, to these things. Most homes in the USA should have solar-powered heating.. and we should be driving cars that run as easily as your calculator, as soon as you take it out of the drawer. Gas is a Cash Cow.. for many, many people... its nearing $110 a barrel, because they realized there wasn't ';too much noise'; over it, when it went over $100 with constancy (for the 1st time in history).
Big Oil doesn't need this exploration.
It's just smoke %26amp; mirrors, for you and us.
Oil isn't the way to go, its dirty, its choking the environment and there is only so much left discovered or not.
We already have the technology to go electrical.
We also have the option to run our cars on methane and diesel substitutes.
Or we could just ban cars from cities and use man-powered vehicles instead. There would be less pollution, less accidents, healthier citizens...etc.
Costs less to have Arabs do it. It strictly has to do with where do the corporations make the most money. No loyalties are involved when it comes to money. If they drill for more oil here and Communist China wants to pay more than others for it then they will sell the American oil to the Communists. Most of Alaska's oil already goes to Asia.
';...forcing our car makers to decrease the price of a vehicle, and up the price.';
Huh?!?
First of all, back in the early 90's, when I was shopping for my first car, most of the cars I looked at got between 28 and 32 mpg. There were even cars that got near 40 mpg! Now, I'm shopping for a new car and I can't find a car that gets over 20 mpg. And the cars are more than twice as expensive.
And some of us prefer a smaller car. There's absolutely nothing unsafe about small cars, other than driving around the idiots in big SUV's and minivans with the phone glued to their ears and no attention span.
But what America, and the rest of the world really needs to do is devote more money and effort into finding alternative energy sources. We don't need ';more oil';. We need something other than oil - preferably something renewable.
The problem is that the easy oil has all been found, the amount of oil in Alaska for example is relatively modest and even if tapped wouldn't do much. And demand for oil from the developing countries like China is skyrocketing, so what is on the international market isn't going to help us.
Now if you follow the news, the USA has been making major efforts the last five years to open up the huge oil fields in Iraq to USA oil companies, but so far it's not been as successful as was hoped in some quarters. Even our Iraqi quisling government refuses to sign the papers giving us their oil at cut rates.
At one point we thought we had a lot of oil in central Asia locked up, but that is looking iffy as well because of the de facto Chinese-Russian-Iranian alliance.
We are going to see more oil exploration in the arctic and antarctic, but baring some amazing and unexpected discovery somewhere, there isn't enough easy oil left to exploit. Has little to do with ecologists, and even then, you want to be realistic about it....by preserving some of the oil in Alaska...that means that oil is still there when we REALLY need it.
IE I'd prefer we save some oil in case we need it to keep the air force and navy going just in case we actually need them some future decade?
Conservation is the easiest way to fix this problem, there is no CHEAP way to increase supply.
smaller cars are only rated as not as safe when they are on the road with the over-large SUV's and trucks that have become far too popular. 80% of the SUV's/trucks out there are empty, not used for hauling people or goods, if people only drove what they needed, then the cars would be plenty safe. Where do you suggest we explore for oil? there aren't a whole lot of unexplored areas that havene't already been tapped. And why concentrate on finding more of that resource when we KNOW that is isn't renewable? It will eventually run out, so why not find a solution to what we are going to do when that happens rather than wait for it to happen and send the country into a panic because we don't have a substitute in place?
And where is this vast underground supply of oil? The only place left where no one goes is Antarctica I can't see oil being found out there.

Is it true that, if we refine 40 gallons of crude oil, we'll get 43 gallons of petroleum products....?
It is perfectly possible even if the numbers are not exactly correct - if a gallon of heavy crude is cracked to lighter gasoline with minimal losses, the volume of the result will be greater even if the mass is about the same because of the change in density.Is it true that, if we refine 40 gallons of crude oil, we'll get 43 gallons of petroleum products....?
Yes, due to expansion of some of the refined products as they are released, you will get around 5% more, in terms of volume.
But, the amount of material in terms of mass (weight) remains the same, since you can't create matter out of nothing.
