Good job on doing the research - let me comment as follows: EIA publishes crude import and export figures directly, see here: https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/pet_sum_snd_d_nus_mbblpd_m_cur.htm https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/pet_sum_snd_d_nus_mbblpd_m_cur.... The second line of the above reference shows crude imports at 7.25 million bbls/d and crude exports at 2.57 million, so net imports of crude oil are circa 4.7 million bbls/day. Even this surpasses India (4.5mmbbls/d) and Japan's (3.9mmbbls/d) total usage, and only China and the US itself use more. And of course the original claim that the US is a net exporter of crude oil is completely wrong. The rest of the statistics needs to be read with caution - what EIA calls "petroleum products" is an odd bunch, ranging from ethane (gas) to petcoke (solid). Such products are not counted in production numbers of Russia and Saudi Arabia, for example, and are also, pound-for-pound, of much lesser value than crude oil. They have a disproportionate share in the US exports. High value products such as gasoline, diesel and jetfuel are consumed "at home".
