"Nigeria's oil supply to US assumes a higher level as she out-stages Saudi Arabia.

While the consumption of petroleum-based products in the United States (U.S.) is flat, Nigeria's ranking on the international oil supply chart to the U.S. has grown.

A monthly data on the origins of crude oil imports into the U.S., based on February 2010 figures, which is the most recent estimate available to the U.S. government, shows that Nigeria is the fourth top oil supplier of the U.S., now ahead of Saudi Arabia, by the end of February this year.

According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), Nigeria is among the top five oil suppliers to the U.S. and "the top five exporting countries accounted for 64 per cent of United States crude oil imports in February while the top 10 sources accounted for approximately 85 per cent of all U.S. crude oil imports."

The EIA listed the top five sources of U.S. crude oil imports for February as Canada with 1.897 million barrels per day (mbpd) to the U.S.; Mexico (0.996 mbpd), Venezuela (0.913 mbpd), Nigeria (0.896 mbpd), and Saudi Arabia (0.881 mbpd)".
