Reliance on Middle East Oil and Gas Supplies by Country
Compare selected countries’ reliance on oil and natural gas imports from the Middle East
This interactive chart compares selected countries’ reliance on oil and natural gas imports from the Middle East. It shows both total import volumes and how significant those imports are relative to each country’s needs.
Use the toggle above to switch between oil and gas. You can then sort countries by:
Share: imports from the Middle East as a share of domestic consumption and exports in 2017 and 2024, with shaded bands highlighting the difference between those two years
Volume: total import volumes in 2024, measured in metric tonnes for oil and in billion cubic metres for natural gas
Region: regional grouping of selected countries
This data tool presents selected countries, with a focus on those that either import the largest volumes of oil and gas from the Middle East or show the highest reliance on Middle Eastern supply, based on the latest available data. Reliance is defined as imports from the Middle East divided by the sum of domestic demand and exports. Oil includes crude oil, natural gas liquids and refined oil products.
