  • Which OPEC countries import the most crude oil in China?
  • While OPEC countries still made up most (57%) of China’s 7.6 million barrels per day (b/d) of crude oil imports in 2016, crude oil from non-OPEC countries made up 65% of the growth in China’s imports between 2012 and 2016. Leading non-OPEC suppliers included Russia (14% of total imports), Oman (9%), and Brazil (5%).
  • Which country imports the most crude oil in the world?
  • These values were converted to volumetric units assuming a conversion factor of 7.3 barrels per metric ton. China is the world’s largest net importer of crude oil, and in recent years, China’s crude oil imports have increasingly come from countries outside the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
  • Which countries export crude oil to China?
  • That number includes relatively minor oil suppliers to China including France, Iran, Spain and Sweden. The top 5 exporters (Russia, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and the United Arab Emirates) furnished over half (52.4%) of China’s total crude oil imports purchased in 2024.
  • How does China affect crude oil exports?
  • China reduced a value-added tax rebate offered on some petroleum product exports, which reduces their competitiveness in world markets. Depending on the effects of this change on Chinese refiners’ operations and profitability, refinery runs and crude oil imports could decline.
  • How many countries supply crude oil to China in 2024?
  • One hundred and five countries supplied crude petroleum oil to mainland China in 2024. That number includes relatively minor oil suppliers to China including France, Iran, Spain and Sweden.
  • How did China's oil demand change in 2024?
  • Slower oil demand growth in 2024 led to less crude oil processed by China’s refineries and fewer crude oil imports compared with the record high set in 2023. China, the world’s largest importer of crude oil, received 11.1 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2024, down from 11.3 million b/d in 2023.
