據彭博新聞社2021年8月5日報道，俄羅斯向美國供應的石油數量比除加拿大以外的任何外國石油生產國都要多。目前，美國煉油廠正在全球尋找汽油含量高的原料，以滿足不斷飆升的汽車燃料需求。

　　美國政府公布的統計數據顯示，5月份，美國從這個冷戰時期的前對手進口的原油和成品油數量環比激增了23%，至每日84.4萬桶。 墨西哥被擠出了第二名的位置，因為它5月份對其北方鄰國的石油出口數量增長不到3%。

　　俄羅斯原油已成為美國燃料制造商青睞的一個來源，主要是因為俄羅斯生產馬祖特100等半成品油的充足供應。

　　馬祖特100是美國煉油廠的理想原料，這些煉油廠習慣于加工來自中東的粘稠泥質原油。 由于制裁，來自前者的貨物已經枯竭，而歐佩克制定的產量限制措施限制了后者的貨物出口，給俄羅斯出口商創造了機會。

　　Russia Second Among Foreign Oil Suppliers to USA

　　Russia is supplying more oil to the U.S. than any other foreign producer aside from Canada as American refiners scour the globe for gasoline-rich feedstocks to feed surging motor-fuel demand.

　　U.S. imports of crude and refined petroleum products from its former Cold War adversary surged 23% in May to 844,000 barrels a day from the prior month, government data showed. Mexico was edged out of the No. 2 spot as its shipments to its northern neighbor rose by less than 3%.

　　Russia has become a favored source for U.S. fuel makers largely because it producers ample supplies of semi-refined oils such as Mazut 100, an ideal feedstock for American refineries accustomed to processing thick, sludgy crude from the Middle East. Cargoes from the former dried up due to sanctions, and OPEC-orchestrated output limits have crimped shipments from the latter, leaving an opening for Russian exporters.
