The production and processing of crude petroleum and natural gas are the dominant economic sectors of the Middle East. The 15 countries that constitute the region accounted for 26% of world crude petroleum output, 17% of world natural gas plant liquid production, and almost 5% of world dry natural gas production. About 66% of total world crude petroleum reserves and 31% of total world natural gas reserves are in the Middle East. U.S. imports of mineral-based materials from the region were primarily energy products. U.S. net oil imports from the Middle East, which include crude petroleum, natural gas liquids, and petroleum refinery products, were about 26% of total U.S. net oil imports or about 680 million barrels in 1989.
