1Crude oil (including lease condensate) production; natural gas plant liquids production; and processing
gain (refinery and blender net production minus refinery and blender net inputs).  Beginning in 1981, also
includes fuel ethanol (minus denaturant) production.  Beginning in 2001, also includes biodiesel production.		 R=Revised.  P=Preliminary.  E=Estimate.  
2Net imports equal imports minus exports.  Includes petroleum (excluding biofuels) net imports.
Beginning in 1993, also includes fuel ethanol (minus denaturant) net imports.  Beginning in 2001, also
includes biodiesel net imports.  Beginning in 2009, also includes a small amount of other biofuels (such as
bio-jet fuel and bio-ETBE) imports.		 Web Pages:  ·  See http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/#petroleum for updated monthly and
annual data.  ·  See http://www.eia.gov/petroleum/ and http://www.eia.gov/renewable/ for related
information.
3Includes petroleum and biofuels stock withdrawals (stock change multiplied by -1); petroleum
adjustments; and biodiesel balancing item.		 Sources:  Production:  Tables 5.1b, 10.3, and 10.4.  Net Imports:  Tables 5.1b, 10.3, and 10.4; and
U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), Petroleum Supply Annual (PSA), Petroleum Supply Monthly
(PSM), and earlier publications—see sources for Table 5.1b.  Balancing Item:  Calculated as estimated
consumption minus production and net imports.  Estimated Consumption:  Tables 5.1b, 10.3, and 10.4;
and EIA, PSA, PSM, and earlier publications—see sources for Table 5.1b.
4Includes estimated consumption of petroleum.  Beginning in 1981, also includes estimated
consumption of fuel ethanol minus denaturant.  Beginning in 2001, also includes estimated consumption of
biodiesel.  Techniques used to estimate consumption vary depending on the product.  Petroleum product
supplied is used as an approximation of petroleum consumption, which is adjusted to exclude biofuels in
order to prevent double counting.  See Note 1, "Petroleum Products Supplied and Petroleum
Consumption," at end of section.  Estimated consumption of fuel ethanol minus denaturant in 2011 is
calculated as fuel ethanol refinery and blender net inputs minus fuel ethanol adjustments minus the amount
of denaturant in fuel ethanol consumed; for other years, see sources in Table 10.3.  Estimated consumption
of biodiesel in 2011 is calculated as biodiesel production plus biodiesel net imports minus biodiesel stock
change; for other years, see sources in Table 10.4.
