By contrast, exports to the U.S. in July were 262,053 bpd, nearly 62% down from 687,946 bpd in August of last year.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. sanctions on Iranian oil have helped the shift. Major Asian energy importers like China have been forced to shift business away from the Islamic Republic \u2014 OPEC\u2019s third-largest producer \u2014 and start buying more Saudi barrels to make up for that shortfall.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. is now more self-reliant than ever, thanks to its own shale oil revolution, which helped it become the world\u2019s largest oil producer by the end of last year.<\/p>\n<p>But the numbers also signal a mix of short-term tactics and long-term strategy for the Saudis, industry experts told CNBC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Saudi Kingdom\u2019s crude shipments to China have doubled in the span of a year.
