Geopolitics of Oil

If you want to understand the geopolitics of oil you must first understand the oil and gas industry. Did you know that the world consumes 97,000,000 barrels of oil per day? A barrel is 42 gallons. How much oil do China, Russia, Europe, and the United States import? Do you think this affects how they conduct their foreign policy?
