Russia is rich in mineral resources that can be used to fuel power plants. C. Most people in Russia do not use electricity, so it makes sense to sell it to other countries.

The area circled in the map is the region of Hindustan, which contains several countries such as India, Pakistan or Bangladesh. Of the countries listed in the question, the only correct option is India.

The EU relies on Russia for its energy needs. Russia depends on the EU for revenues. Its economy relies on energy exports, which means that its societal well-being relies on its ability to secure demand for its hydrocarbons. The European market is that security.

For Finland, North Macedonia, Moldova, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, Russia was the only source of natural gas supply in 2019. Among other European countries highly dependent on Russian gas were Latvia and Serbia, where it occupied approximately 90 percent of the total.

According to Eurostat, 30% of the EU’s petroleum oil imports and 39% of total gas imports came from Russia in 2017. For Estonia, Poland, Slovakia and Finland, more than 75% of their imports of petroleum oils originated in Russia.

America is one of the world’s largest oil producers, and close to 40 percent of U.S. oil needs are met at home. Most of the imports currently come from five countries: Canada, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Venezuela and Nigeria.

U.S. imports from Russia averaged 538,000 barrels a day in 2020—more than the 522,000-barrel-a-day average from Saudi Arabia. But in the U.S., it fed the cokers to produce gasoline.

Gas imports coming from Russia (Source: UK BEIS, IEA) 164 Bcm is 38% of Europe’s own production plus imports, and 61% of total imports. In the same period the UK imported 4.5 Bcm from continental Europe.

In 2019, some 17.5 million metric tons of crude oil and 1.7 million metric tons of natural gas were imported from Norway. Algeria, Russia and Nigeria round out the top five origin countries, with Russia being the only other supplier of natural gas to the UK, as this is reliant on pipeline infrastructure.

Natural gas from the North Sea and the East Irish Sea makes up 44% of the UK’s gas production. It’s piped from sea platforms to refineries on land.

Of these other countries, the UK had the highest self-sufficiency, producing over 90 per cent of its crude oil demand. The UK could have met more than 90 per cent of its demand for crude through indigenous production and ranked in the top five for security of supply.

Oil and gas production from the UK sector of the North Sea peaked in 1999, but the UK remains a substantial producer today. Over the last four decades, 39 billion BOE have been extracted on the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS).

Food and Agriculture Organization, very few countries qualify. The only country in Europe that’s self-sufficient is France. Other countries in the exclusive club of self sufficiency: Canada, Australia, Russia, India, Argentina, Burma, Thailand, the U.S. and a few small others.

Greece, Finland, and Korea scored highest for self- sufficiency within the OECD, with Greece producing over three times the amount it consumed. The UK could have met over three quarters of its demand for crude oil through indigenous production and ranked sixth overall for security of supply with regards to crude oil.

Total U.S. petroleum consumption (as product supplied) averaged about 18.120 million b/d in 2020. The difference between petroleum consumption and production is mainly composed of net imports (imports minus exports) of petroleum and changes in petroleum inventories.

Refineries located in, or near, the WCSB refine local domestic oil. In eastern Canada, refineries process less domestic crude and more imports. This is due to higher transportation costs, limited pipeline access to western Canadian domestic oil, and the inability of refineries to process WCSB heavy crude oil.
