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.

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.

Should the transport of oil, both crude and refined by super tanker ships, be banned?
Hey guys, this is a question I need to know for a test coming up. Please answer with yes or no and a few points explaining why.
If you don't understand the question too well. I'll break it up for you. (I know, it's worded a little weird)
';Should the transport of oil be banned?';
That's what it's really asking, but its naming two other types:
';both crude'; (1)
';and refined by super tanker ships'; (2)Should the transport of oil, both crude and refined by super tanker ships, be banned?
From the perspective of a person who might worry about the future of a spill I would say ,,,';HECK YEA';...
but now that i have that out of my system i might take a more logical look at the problem we face...
Our energy system is not one that can be cut off by isolationism. Let take for instance the International oil that is traded to Japan. Japan has no oil production but does have a great need how do they get theirs? WE ship it to them. Most all the crude that leaves the North slopeof Alaska goes to another country..Why ? well we owe them money and because we can derive capital and if they will pay more than you or I the oil guys will sell it to the higher bidder.
Thats the tip of the iceburg for the trade market value for oil. When every one needs a product it just naturally costs more to get it...That's the way capitalism works..Now if we were to ban the transfer of oil to another part of the world by SUPER-TANKER then we would be cutting off the arm that actually feeds us...The ST is by far the easiest most efficient method,,,not including pipeline, to transfer oil. Also since the seas would be full of smaller boats using more energy it would just drive the cost up to do the same job.
So in Effect my answer is ';NO WAY';...We just need the transfer capabilty to stabilize the energy business and to obtain the balance that Global energy consumption has created...If i knew of a way right now to cut the strings with all countries and establish a way to maintain a stable economy AND create energy along the way...I would jump up and down untill the world took notice ...Sorry i cannot do any of these.. Wish you well on your test....From the E...

If we have more oil than we can refine, who鈥檚 fault is that?
It really should be a matter of national security; the U.S. government should build at least a couple of refineries for use in conjunction with our strategic oil reserves; in the event of a real war, not the occupation of a small country half a world away, we need to have some excess refining capacity available.
This does NOT need to be run by oil companies, however. In the event of an emergency, it would be available to process fuel for the general public. Something like that would have been great after Hurricane Katrina. Otherwise, the refineries would be exclusively used to provide fuel for our armed forces and postal service.
This is an important area in which our national defense is severely vulnerable.If we have more oil than we can refine, who鈥檚 fault is that?
I live in Texas. Texas City has had some enormous explosions over the years. Pasadena has a snarky motto that says, ';The Air is Greener in Pasadener.'; No one wants a refinery next to them. Can't put em too far from the oil, but as you might guess, community concerns crop up quite often.If we have more oil than we can refine, who鈥檚 fault is that?
Leftist environmentalists who have bought politicians and convinced them to not build any more refineries or increase production here. Oh, mainly BIll Clinton about a decade ago. Would have been nice to have that oil now Bill, Thanks!
I blame the U.S. government for not having proper regulatory controls on refinary capacity. There is no motivation for the oil companies to increase capacity otherwise.
Why would oil companies build more refineries, which are expensive, if they are doing so well as it is. From their viewpoint, less is more.
Environmental politicians, have been blocking refineries for over 35 years.
The USA imports 25% of it's refined gasoline from 3rd world countries, with no enviromental regulations.
Actually our Congress for putting blocks in the way to refit refineries and to build new ones.
Liberals and environmental whack-jobs who won't let us build more refineries.
Radical environmentalists who keep blocking construction of new refineries.
our governmentsblush eyeshadow

Radical environmentalists who keep blocking construction of new refineries.

Couldnt used motor oil be filtered and refined into some sort of fuel or by- product, to lessen the burden on?
The must be billions of gallons a year taken in by oil change buisinesses, etc. I know some of this is filtered and resold as recycled motor oil, but couldnt it be refined into a fuel of some sort, or into the many by-products of raw oil, so more of the raw oil could be used for gasoline. By the way, I have begun making a ';browns gas'; generator that I will use on my truck, that will add hydrogen into my fuel mixture to increase my milage. It uses only water as a supply to make the ';browns gas'; , and will release only water vapor as an exhaust, thereby reducing the normal exhaust from gasoline, as well.Couldnt used motor oil be filtered and refined into some sort of fuel or by- product, to lessen the burden on?
The recycling of motor oil is already pretty well established. Our local place sells theirs to the same place as Wal-mart: it gets trucked to Louisiana where they get the worst of the contaminants out of it and re-sell it as fuel for ships, which can burn darn near anything you can pour into a tank.
There also are or were re-refining operations--small ones--that very large fleet operations use to recycle their motor oil.Couldnt used motor oil be filtered and refined into some sort of fuel or by- product, to lessen the burden on?
Once it was sent back to in oil purification process,and returned to gas stations in special bottles, and sold at discounted reclaimed oil for the crankcase. Navy ships are constantly purifying lubrication oil, and we are talking several barrels, and minimized loss, consumption and leaking. Oil does not wear out, it gets contaiminated. You have something there, it could be converted to fuel for diesel, and would not need a large refinery to be built, so the process could start quickly.
it is being used only not driving with but driven on. Used motor oil is the key ingredient to most asphalt mixtures. 90% of all used motor oil recycled is used in this fashion. there are heating methods for used oil but the emissions are too harsh for the eco friendly environment. Many homes in the early 1940's were heated with oil. As were they heated with coal. no one heats with any of these methods today in there residence but there are a lot of garages and machine shops that do so today. hope this helps.
It is already recycled and in some cases is used as fuel. The amount of oil used is pretty small compared to the amount of gasoline that cars use though. With my oil change schedule I burn about 200 gallons of gas for every 1 gallon of oil changed.
Usually, used motor oil is recycled and used back as motor oil.
Oil is oil...if it were refined and used as fuel, then the price of motor oil would go up as supplies of recycled product would decrease.
Last we knew, places like Walmart and Neal Tire were taking used oil from people who change their own. Check it out in your area, God bless you!
Oil furnaces are LARGELY used in New Jersey homes still. (And a killer for heating at $4.00 a gallon.)
its recycled in many ways...and stop it with the bogus browns gas....blush eyeshadow

When will Americans decide they've had enough and extract and refine their own oil?
American oil is generally not as good quality as arab, venezuelan oil. If we use up all their oil they will have to buy from us. Two reasons there.When will Americans decide they've had enough and extract and refine their own oil?
Democratic liberal conservationists won't let us.
Bush wanted to drill in alaska for oil 7 years ago. Democrats were afraid it would interrupt the mating of the wildlife. They would rather have us depend on our enemies for our oil. And yet Americans want a Democrat for President. They would rather play the blame game. Blame Bush. It works on the public.
Go figure.When will Americans decide they've had enough and extract and refine their own oil?
When democrats and some Republicans stop blocking our efforts to do that.
when they stop the war and concentrate on their own economy that is when the bushman goes back where he belonged
When Democrats in congress are paying $10,000 a gallon for jet fuel.
For me it was in 1995
Very soon.......i hope.

With all the political snake oil being sold on these pages now days should we try to refine it and fuel cars?
does not matter too many people feel the govt is all knowing in everything rather than the screwups they really are.
How come Iran never bothered to refine its own oil and now has to import gasoline from Venezuela?
It completely baffles me why a leading OPEC country who knows that by engaging in nuclear weapons research, will suffer from trade sanctions that will completely cut the country off from the rest of the world. Iran has been a target of trade sanctions for as long as I can remember. Yet, never bothered to build refineries prior to engaging or even while engaging in nuclear weapons research, even for its own consumption.
If Iran has the technical capacity and the ability to subvert trade sanctions to keep building nuclear capability (civilian or military) than it stand to reason that they have the ability to build refineries under such conditions.How come Iran never bothered to refine its own oil and now has to import gasoline from Venezuela?
We can build refineries, yes but we have MAD leaders, which their only concern is having power over the people of Iran(which needs money and time) .
Building refineries needs alot of money and is a time consuming process, nothing that can be done in 1 or 2 years, not to mention the increasing consumption rate over time.How come Iran never bothered to refine its own oil and now has to import gasoline from Venezuela?
Iran has refineries but they are not good and old (unsafe). But it is really a political issue more than technical . It also takes a long time to build a refinery and make sure it is safe for operation as this is volatile fuel you are processing and any spark means a huge explosion.
Outsourcing is cheaper.

Where can i buy gasoline refined only from U.S. oil?
Are there any gas stations that sell gas ONLY refined from domestic (U.S.) crude oil?Where can i buy gasoline refined only from U.S. oil?
Kwik fill and red apple stations don't know where they are all located at but the only use US oil at least that's what their signs sayWhere can i buy gasoline refined only from U.S. oil?
None. Sorry. It doesn't work that way.

I have some fuel oil that is 10 years old can it be refined and used for diesel fuel for my 2006 tractor?
I would mix it about one quart per 50 gallons, you would be amazed how much a diesel will smooth out with a little oil. if fact it is the best fuel additive i have found and get a return of 1/2 MPG, but shh do not tell the man.I have some fuel oil that is 10 years old can it be refined and used for diesel fuel for my 2006 tractor?
I don't think it would hunt anything if you mixed it 50/50 withsome good diesel. Only thing make sure they are no water in it.I have some fuel oil that is 10 years old can it be refined and used for diesel fuel for my 2006 tractor?
SURE. How's that refinery out in your back yard doing these days?
Do you have a friend who owns a refinery?
I heard old diesel fuel has algae growing in it. Not sure about fuel oil.blush eyeshadow

Geez, already someone trying to let the snakes keep their oil.
Does this mean we will be able to drill for our own, and build new refineries?
~With all the political snake oil being sold on these pages now days should we try to refine it and fuel cars?
You ain't selling me , no refinded snake oil. Let the damned snakes keep their oil.

Why is gas expensive especially if it's refined by some oil companies are based in the u.s?
price has been going down, was 2.99 here, now I seen it for 2.37Why is gas expensive especially if it's refined by some oil companies are based in the u.s?
GREED!Why is gas expensive especially if it's refined by some oil companies are based in the u.s?
OPEC sets oil prices- and they are not conrtolled by the U.S.
It is called Supply vs. Demand.
It is also called the cost of the supply..
Rather you know it or not, we have not built a NEW refinery in YEARS! it is against the LAW for them to build anymore. It is also against the Law for them to drill in the USA without permission from the Congress or EPA.
Supply vs. Demand. We demand a lot of fuel, yet we have limited resources to make the fuel.
Fuel cost so much when the starting price is at $70 per bbl. Cost starts high, federal tax is included, local tax gets added. HIDDEN taxes that get added by the manufactures of the fuel because all cost get passed on to the end user.
Open up the market to making more refineries and drilling and you will see the terrorist markets close, Hugo Chavez lose his market. and the USA thrive.
Supply and demand, same as marijuana or hardwood furniture from the US.
The united states does not have enough refining capacity to meet the demand of the US economy. In fact we have 2 less refineries now than we had 30 years ago. There is only one new one under construction, I believe in Arizona. It has been years undergoing envoromental impact statements and law suits from various groups. It will be at least one decade before its done.
It will be the last one built in the US ever again.
Get used to it. Oil is not a renewable fuel. At some point we will reach the peak of production. After that all the oil in the world that is easiest to obtain, will be gone. The last half of the oil will be in places like the arctic and deep beneath the sea floor. Very deep. The cost of getting it will go up. At some point it will cost one barrel of oil to get a barrel of oil. At that point, you better have a back up like cold fussion working or someting. Other wise the global economy will collaps. It only functions because oil is cheap now. AS soon as it gets too expensive, goods will no longer ship from here to there. It will just be too expensive. You will travel less. You world will srink to just as far as you can walk or ride a bike.
Once an oil well gets just so low on oil they use a trick called bottle brush drilling. Once a well is drilled in this fashion, thats the end of the well. When the oil runs out its done.
The largest oil field in the world is located in saudi arabia. Its already been bottle brushed. You do the math. The largest oil field in the world is on its way out. What is the long term projection for oil now? No you won't read about it in the news paper. Its not a news story now. It will be at some point.
Further more ALL of OPEC lies like a cheap rug about how much oil they have. It is an opec agreement that they will only ship a certian percentage of the oil they have....in order to ship more oil and make more money, they must fudge the numbers about what they have in the ground. Also a well know fact, also ignored by most every one.
So if you have an estimated 8 billions barrels of oil in the ground and your dictator needs more cash, you announce a new discovery that in fact the oil field is really 10 billion barrels. Now the amount of oil that you can ship is increased and your dictator is happy.
With modern technology we have discovered where just about every drop of oil happens to be. For some reason every now and again inspite of having shipped zillions of barrels of oil over the years the estimates continue to grow. Because the need for ever increasing amounts of cash? You decide.
Some time in the next 20 years oil will get very expensive.
Supply and demand. Nothing more.
Fuel prices increased about a dollar a gallon from a year ago. Crude prices didn't increase nearly that much, gas station margins didn't increase nearly that much, the reason has to be in the middle. The refiners costs certainly didn't increase much, the distribution costs didn't go up that much. Supply and demand wouldn't have that kind of effect. What's left is the the middle man's margins resulting in the staggering profits reported earlier this year. How could prices increase so radically? Competition should hold them down, but this didn't happen. The pro big business attitudes of the republicans has created an environment of permissiveness and lack of enforcement of anti-trust laws. Anti-trust laws prohibit things like bid rigging, predatory pricing, and price fixing.

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.
