The United States has become a global crude oil exporting power over the last few years, but exports have not exceeded its imports since World War II.

That may change next year.

Sales of U.S. crude to other nations are now a record 3.4 million barrels per day (bpd) with exports of about three million bpd of refined products like gasoline and diesel fuel, according to Reuters.

The U.S. is also the leading Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) exporter, where growth is expected to soar in coming years.

But the U.S. consumes 20 million barrels of crude a day, the most in the world, and its output has never exceeded 13 million bpd.

Until recently, the idea that it would be anything, but a big crude importer was folly.

Last month, U.S. government data showed net U.S. crude oil imports fell to 1.1 million barrels per day (bpd), the lowest since record keeping began in 2001.

That is down sharply from five years ago, when the U.S. imported more than seven million barrels per day.

Factors changing that equation this year include sanctions hurting Russia’s exports of oil and natural gas following its invasion of Ukraine, and Washington’s massive release of oil from emergency reserves to combat spiking gasoline prices.

“Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has spurred new demand for U.S. energy and should push oil exports above imports late next year assuming shale output accelerates,” said Rohit Rathod, market analyst at energy researcher, Vortexa.

To become a net exporter of crude, the United States needs either to boost production or curtail consumption. U.S. petroleum demand is expected to rise 0.7% to 20.51 million bpd next year, so that means production would have to rise.

The U.S. already produces more oil than any other country in the world including Saudi Arabia and Russia.

U.S. shale fields are aging and production growth this year has been sluggish.

Overall output should reach a record 12.34 million bpd next year – but only if prices are lucrative enough to encourage oil drillers to pump more.

European  refiners have snapped up U.S. grades to offset the loss of Russian oil, and with U.S. crude’s deeper discounts to global benchmarks, Asian refiners have stepped up purchases to 1.75 million barrels per day, data analytics firm Kpler said.

Export terminal operators are rushing to boost their capacity to better service the giant tankers that can carry more than two million barrels of oil.

“Russia has proven to be an unreliable supplier,” said Sean Strawbridge, Chief Executive of the largest U.S. oil export facility, Port of Corpus Christi.

“That really creates a wonderful opportunity for American producers and American energy.”

Corpus Christi could see a 100,000 bpd increase in exports next year, Strawbridge said, on top of the record shipments of 2.2 million bpd in October.

Analysts said net exports could taper off if numerous countries worldwide fall into a recession, hampering demand, and if further relaxation of sanctions on Venezuelan crude oil boosts that country’s shipments.
