According to the latest “This Week In Petroleum” report by the Energy Information Administration (EIA), total exports of domestic petroleum products in general continued increasing in 2015 due to higher exports of distillate fuel, motor gasoline and propane specifically.

Distillates comprised the highest portion of overall exported petroleum products, and during 2015, about 1.19 million barrels per day (MMbbl/d) were exported, up from 2014’s 85 Mbbl/d.

This fuel went to 88 countries in 2015, with the top destination being Mexico, the EIA said. Mexico averaged 143 Mbbl/d last year, which was an increase of 15 Mbbl/d from 2014. Chile, though, brought in the most U.S. distillate last year, averaging 101 Mbbl/d.

Motor gasoline was the second-largest exported petroleum product in 2015—on average, 618 Mbbl/d went to 102 countries, up 68 Mbbl/d from 2014’s amount, the EIA said. Mexico again was the largest recipient, averaging 307 Mbbl/d, or half of 2015’s total, the administration added.

Because the country reformed its fuel import program, Nigeria helped lower the overall export of motor gasoline to Africa as a whole. Exports decreased by 28 Mbbl/d.

While temporary restraints on supply tempered gasoline exports in Ecuador and Colombia, the two countries still received 15 Mbbl/d more and 10 Mbbl/d more of U.S. gasoline than in 2014.

The U.S. saw its propane stocks increase by 0.2 barrels during the week of March 21, to 62.5 MMbbl—15% higher than one year ago.

Propane exports came behind motor gasoline exports, nearly matching it at 615 Mbbl/d in 2015, higher than 2014’s amount by 193 Mbbl/d. Propane exports headed for Asia, the EIA said, noting that the region will be the leading source of global propane consumption growth because the region’s petrochemical sector is expanding.

Back home, the average American consumer saw the price of gasoline lower by 49 cents in 2015. Residential propane prices are lower by 32 cents per gallon from 2015’s price, and heating costs are lower than last year’s price by 91 cents, the EIA said.
