Despite being one of the few oil producers in the European Union, Romania also imports large quantities of fuel, according to data provided by the National Institute of Statistics at the request of the European Commission. HotNews<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 77% of the crude oil processed in Romania is imported. More precisely, a total of about 11.4 million tons of crude oil arrived in Romania's refineries last year, according to INS. Of this amount, Romania's crude oil production accounted for 2.5 million tons, Hotnews reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But to cover domestic consumption of oil products, Romania imported more than 8.9 million tons of crude oil. Romania imported three times more than it produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total imports exceeded \u20ac4.15 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kazakhstan is Romania's dominant supplier. The import structure shows a significant concentration on a few key suppliers. Kazakhstan is by far Romania's main partner in this area, with 5.4 million tons delivered, worth almost \u20ac 2.48 billion. This represents over 501TPTP3T of the total value of crude oil imports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
