The recent exports of crude oil and petroleum products from the United States have shown an overall upward trend, with the average daily export of crude oil that week being approximately 4.8 million barrels and that of petroleum products being approximately 8.1 million barrels, both of which also reached new highs.
According to the American news website Axios on the 24th, the scale of U.S. crude oil exports has generally remained at an average of 3.5 million to 4.5 million barrels per day in recent years. The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has forced the global market to seek alternative supply channels for crude oil and petroleum products, boosting U.S. energy exports.
In a single week, U.S. crude oil exports can reach a peak of approximately 6.5 million barrels per day; however, due to logistical constraints, the monthly export volume cap is about 5.5 million barrels per day.
The average price of regular gasoline in the United States has risen to $4.02 per gallon, reaching a four-year high, an increase of over $1 compared to before the military action against Iran by the United States and Israel on February 28.
US President Trump has repeatedly used the current Middle East conflicts to "promote" American oil. Recently, a large number of empty oil tankers have entered the Gulf of Mexico. Trump posted on social media that these tankers are preparing to load "the highest quality, most 'sweet' oil (and natural gas) in the world."
