Iraq has solidified its position as a major energy partner to the United States, ranking as the second-biggest exporter of crude oil to the U.S. last week, according to new figures released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).

The EIA’s weekly data shows that the U.S. imported an average of 5.351 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil from nine key suppliers. This represents a drop of 274,000 bpd from the previous week’s volume.

Canada continued to dominate the list with nearly 4 million bpd. Iraq followed as the second-largest contributor, supplying 273,000 bpd. Brazil came third with 249,000 bpd. Other notable exporters included Colombia (179,000 bpd), Saudi Arabia (178,000 bpd), and Mexico (165,000 bpd). Additional shipments came from Libya (105,000 bpd), Ecuador (103,000 bpd), and Nigeria (85,000 bpd), while Venezuela recorded no exports during the period.

This latest update underscores Iraq’s growing role in the global oil market and its consistent supply to one of the world’s largest energy consumers. The figures also highlight a broader trend of diversification in U.S. crude oil import sources, even as total volumes fluctuate.

Analysts view Iraq’s consistent rankings among top exporters as a sign of stable output and strengthening trade ties with Washington.
