Exports of Venezuelan oil and by-products to the United States continued the downward trend in September, when the volume of oil and by-products shipped to the US declined 254,000 bpd.

In total, the US received an average of 1.05 mm bpd of Venezuelan oil and by-products in September, that is 19.4 % below the shipments in August and 264,000 bpd (19.5 %) less than the volume exported in September 2007, according to the data released by the Energy Information Administration (EIA), the statistical arm of the US Department of Energy.
These data were influenced by a 17.6 % decrease (202,000 bpd) in the amount of crude oil sold to the US, but particularly by a 32.7 % fall in the volume of Venezuelan by-products traded, a behaviour which has been strengthening over the past months.
