US crude imports from Iraq stayed at zero for a fifth consecutive week, EIA data show

According to data released by the US Energy Information Administration and reported on Sunday 2 August 2026 (11 Mordad 1405), the United States imported no crude oil from Iraq for the fifth consecutive week. The same data showed no crude imports from Saudi Arabia during the reporting period either.

Canada remained the largest foreign supplier of crude to the United States that week, exporting 3.62 million barrels per day, followed by Venezuela at 673,000 bpd, Brazil at 269,000 bpd and Ecuador at 230,000 bpd. Iraq last exported crude to the United States during the week ending 19 June 2026, when shipments averaged 71,000 bpd.

Iraq lost an estimated 302.8 million barrels of oil production during the first half of 2026 as the US and Iran war disrupted extraction and exports through the Strait of Hormuz. As OPEC's second largest producer, Iraq relies on crude sales for about 90 percent of state revenue, leaving it highly exposed to disruption in the Strait, which carries roughly one fifth of global oil supplies.
