The United States has a predominant inuence on the oil market 

for several reasons. First, it is the biggest oil consumer in the world. 

According to the BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2022, in 

2021, its petroleum consumption reached an average of 18.684 

million bpd.

Secondly, it’s also one of the leading oil importers with up to 8.478 

million barrels imported a day, making it a major inuencing factor 

in global supply and demand. Thirdly, as a superpower, the United 

States wields considerable inuence in energy geopolitics2. Lastly, 

the United States has very sophisticated oil shale technologies that 

briey made the country import-oil-independent in 2019 (though 

shale oil production has declined since then due to COVID-19).
