FX.co ★ U.S. OPEC Crude Imports from Saudi Arabia Rise to 7.20M Barrels

Latest data show that on 3 July 2026, U.S. OPEC crude oil imports from Saudi Arabia increased to 7.20 million barrels, up from a previous level of 6.50 million barrels. The move signals a notable pickup in Saudi-supplied crude flows into the United States.

The 700,000-barrel rise suggests U.S. buyers are leaning more heavily on Saudi shipments, which may reflect evolving refinery demand patterns or shifts in sourcing strategies amid broader global energy market dynamics. While the broader implications for prices and inventories will depend on future import trends and domestic production, the latest figures confirm a clear uptick in Saudi-origin crude reaching U.S. shores.
