KEY: P = preliminary; R = revised; U = data are unavailable.
a Includes crude oil and natural gas plant liquids. This data series has been revised from 1975 forward to exclude the field production of other liquids including: finished motor gasoline, motor gasoline blending components, and other hydrocarbons and oxygenates.
b Includes lease condensate.
c Includes imports for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which began in 1977.
d Beginning in 1985, motor gasoline blending components and aviation gasoline blending components are included.
e Net imports is equal to Imports minus Exports.
