I took a look at OPEC's annual statistical report.  Saudi Arabia is
far and away the largest OPEC exporter of crude oil.

Not surprisingly, the United States is the largest importer of oil,
although the OPEC report doesn't specify how much of the US imports
are from OPEC sources, and how much are from other sources.

However, it's likely that OPEC sources provide a large portion of US
imports, as they account for a substantial share of the world's
overall supply of oil.

Would you like me to post details of this report as an answer to your question?

I need ALL Prominent countries of OPEC and all of the largest
consumers of OPEC's Products.  The details of the report might also be
helpful.
thank you

What about the 2nd part of the question. What countries are the

As I mentioned in my earlier comment, the information sources I have
list the largest oil importers, but don't make clear if the imported
oil comes from OPEC countries or not.

Since you have specifically asked about imports of OPEC-only oil (as
opposed to any old oil), I can't help you further, and I'm not sure
any researcher will be able to answer your question for you..

Maybe a researcher can help to sort through all the information and
find the answers. I understand about the imports being hard to find
but there has to be somewhere a chart of info on the major OPEC
product consumers. Help researchers!!!

Oil is a commodity and it's heavily traded. It shouldn't matter who
consumes what. The production quotas that OPEC set affect the entire
world.

In fact, if you'd like to know who are the two OPEC countries that
have recently defied the United States, you may want to look at this.
