OIL AND PETROLEUM PRODUCTS EXPLAINED

USE OF OIL

BASICS

Crude oil and other liquids produced from fossil fuels are refined into petroleum products that people use for many different
purposes. Biofuels are also used as petroleum products, mostly in mixtures with gasoline and diesel fuel.

Petroleum has historically been the most-consumed energy source in terms of total annual U.S. energy consumption. We use
petroleum products to propel vehicles, to heat buildings, and to produce electricity. In the industrial sector, the petrochemical
industry uses petroleum as a raw material (a feedstock) to make products such as plastics, polyurethane, solvents, and
hundreds of other intermediate and end-user goods.

In 2022, U.S. total petroleum consumption averaged about 20.28 million barrels per day (b/d), which included about 1.17
million b/d of biofuels (1.002 b/d of fuel ethanol and 0.164 b/d of biodiesel, renewable diesel, and other biofuels combined).1
U.S. total petroleum consumption was about 2% higher in 2022 than in 2021 and about 12% higher than in 2020, largely
because the U.S. economy was returning to pre-COVID-19 pandemic activity levels. Consumption of nearly all petroleum
products in 2022 was higher than in 2021.

What petroleum products do people consume most?

Gasoline is the most-consumed petroleum product in the United States. In 2022, consumption of finished motor gasoline
averaged about 8.78 million b/d (369 million gallons per day), which was about 43% of total U.S. petroleum consumption.
Finished motor gasoline includes fuel ethanol.

Distillate fuel oil is the second-most-consumed petroleum product in the United States. Distillate fuel oil includes diesel fuel and
heating oil. Diesel fuel is used in diesel engines, which are often in heavy construction equipment, trucks, buses, tractors,
boats, trains, some automobiles, and electricity generators. Heating oil, also called fuel oil, is used for heating homes and
buildings in boilers and furnaces, for industrial heating, and for producing electricity in power plants. In 2022, total distillate fuel
oil consumption averaged about 3.96 million b/d (166 million gallons per day), which was 20% of total U.S. petroleum
consumption.

Hydrocarbon gas liquids (HGLs), the third-most-used category of petroleum in the United States, include propane, ethane,
butane, and other HGLs that are produced at natural gas processing plants and oil refineries. HGLs have many uses. Total
consumption of HGLs in 2022 averaged about 3.59 million b/d, accounting for about 18% of total petroleum consumption.

Jet fuel is the fourth-most-used petroleum product in the United States. Jet fuel consumption averaged about 1.56 million b/d
(65 million gallons per day) in 2022, accounting for about 8% of total petroleum consumption.

Note: Sum of individual products may not equal total because of independent rounding. Finished motor gasoline includes fuel ethanol. Biofuels
includes biodiesel, renewable diesel, and other biofuels. Miscellaneous other products includes all finished petroleum products not classified
elsewhere, including petrolatum, lube refining byproducts (aromatic extracts and tars), absorption oils, ram-jet fuel, petroleum rocket fuels,
synthetic natural gas feedstocks, and specialty oils.

How much petroleum does the world consume?

In 2021, total world petroleum consumption was about 97.26 million b/d.

The five top petroleum-consuming countries, and their percentage shares of total world petroleum consumption in
2021, were:

20.4% 15.7% 4.8% 3.8%

United States China India Russia

3.5%
Japan

Data source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, International Energy Statistics, as of August 21, 2023

What is the outlook for U.S. petroleum consumption?

In the Annual Energy Outlook 2023 Reference case, the U.S. Energy Information Administration projects U.S. total
consumption of petroleum and other liquids in 2050 to be nearly equal to the projection for 2023. Petroleum and other liquid
fuels will decline from about 37% of total U.S. energy consumption in 2023 to about 34% of total annual U.S. energy
consumption in 2050.

Also in the Reference case, liquid fuels continue as the main energy source for the transportation sector, but transportation
sector liquid fuels consumption on an energy-content basis is projected to be about 10% lower in 2050 than in 2023.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration uses product supplied to represent petroleum consumption. Fuel ethanol
consumption is accounted for as refinery and blender inputs to produce finished motor gasoline.
