Iraq US crude exports to the United States fell to zero last week, according to new data. The figure marks a decline from 6,000 barrels per day recorded during the previous week. The latest numbers come from the US Energy Information Administration.
The data highlights a sharp week-to-week change in Iraqi crude shipments to the American market. Iraq remains a major oil producer and exporter, but US import volumes can vary considerably. Weekly figures often reflect changes in cargo schedules, refinery demand and broader market conditions.
Canada continued to dominate US crude imports during the latest reporting period. American buyers received about 3.526 million barrels per day from Canada. Venezuela ranked second with shipments reaching 662,000 barrels per day.
Brazil followed with 348,000 barrels per day, while Mexico supplied 196,000. Saudi Arabia shipped 165,000 barrels per day during the same week. Colombia also remained an important supplier, sending around 141,000 barrels per day to US buyers.
Other suppliers recorded smaller volumes during the period. Libya shipped approximately 89,000 barrels per day, while Nigeria supplied 50,000. The figures show the wide range of countries contributing to the US crude supply mix.
Several oil-producing countries reported no crude shipments to the United States during the week. Those countries included Ecuador, Algeria, Angola and Congo. Equatorial Guinea, Kuwait, Norway, Russia, Trinidad and Tobago and the United Kingdom also recorded zero shipments.
The absence of Iraqi crude from the weekly figures does not necessarily signal a permanent change. US imports can fluctuate sharply between reporting weeks because individual tanker deliveries may alter the totals. A single week can therefore provide only a limited picture of longer-term trade patterns.
Still, the latest result puts Iraq US crude exports below the previous week’s level. The change comes as American refiners continue to source crude from a diverse group of international suppliers. Canada maintains a particularly strong position because of its close geographic and commercial ties with the United States.
The EIA tracks weekly crude imports by country as part of its broader assessment of the US petroleum market. The data provides insight into changing supply flows and the role of foreign producers. Traders, refiners and analysts use these figures to monitor shifts in the American energy market.
For Iraq, access to major international markets remains important for sustaining oil revenues. The country depends heavily on crude exports to support government finances and the wider economy. Changes in individual destinations can therefore attract close attention even when they prove temporary.
The latest figures also underline the scale of competition among global oil suppliers. American refiners can draw crude from North and South America, the Middle East, Africa and other regions. That flexibility allows import patterns to change quickly as market conditions develop.
For now, the EIA data shows no Iraqi crude imports for the latest week. The previous reading stood at 6,000 barrels per day. Future weekly reports will show whether Iraq US crude exports return to the American market or remain at zero.
