Most of Syria’s oil is used domestically, but it exports 150,000 b/d, 95% of which goes to Europe, primarily to Italy, the Netherlands, France, and Germany.The article does not say how much Syrian oil is brought into the US. And I bet none of the mainstream reporters asks.
For comparison, the North Dakota Bakken is producing about 350,000 bbls/day.
The same day the announcement is made about the executive order, the price of WTI oil drops $4.00.
Perhaps for the consumer, the President needs to sign another executive order barring the importation of oil from the Gaza Strip.
