To: worst-case scenario
Take a look at what has happened to Nigerian delta - where more than 40% of America’s oil is produced.

40%? What math system are you using? 5% is about right.

We currently use about 18.5~19.0 BPD of oil products.

These days, we get average less than 1.0 BPD of oil and oil products from Nigeria.

My mistake in not proofreading carefully. Nigeria does not account for 40% of our imports. It’s the US that accounts for 40% of Nigeria’s oil exports.

You’re right, in that Nigeria is only the fifth largest provider of oil to the US. The top five importers account for about 65% of all the oil imported into the States. Thanks for the charts.
