At the end of 2020, the United States increased imports of Russian oil and petroleum products to a maximum since 2011, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) said.
The USA buys 538,000 barrels per day, which marked a yearly increase of 3.5 percent to 7 percent of total purchases. Russia has thus become the second largest exporter of oil and oil products to the United States, having displaced Saudi Arabia from this position.
The record was primarily achieved due to exports of petroleum products, since oil exports from Russia to the United States in 2020 fell by 45 percent to 73,000 barrels per day (8th largest oil supplier to the United States).

According to Bloomberg, Exxon Mobil Corp., Chevron Corp., Valero Energy Corp. accept Russian oil at their refineries in Texas and Louisiana.
