Generally speaking U.S. import and export of crude oil is largely a
matter of the classification of the oil with light, sweet, crude being
imported and heavier crude being exported. Alaskan "North Slope"
crude, for example, is a medium grade crude and thus not as desirable
to west coast refineries as a lighter grade, perhaps imported from
outside the U.S.

In 2020, the United States exported about 8.51 MMb/d and imported
about 7.86 MMb/d of petroleum and produced2 about 18.40 million
barrels per day (MMb/d) of petroleum, and consumed about 18.12 MMb/d
