Most of the drilling in the world today is happening right here in the USA.

Where?

According to the EIA, the US produces about 5 million barrels per day (Mbd) domestically. Some of that is exported; we import, gross, about 13.8 Mbd, making our total consumption about 18 Mbd. About 6 Mbd of our imports come from OPEC countries, including about 2.2 Mbd from the Persian Gulf. Saudi Arabia is our biggest supplier in the Gulf, responsible for 1.5 Mbd (about 8% of our total consumption). Interestingly, though, our major suppliers are our nearest neighbors - Canada and Mexico. Both of them give us more oil individually than Saudi Arabia, Canada 2.5 Mbd (14% of consumption) and Mexico 1.6 Mbd (9% of consumption).

Maybe in the dentist office, not looking for oil. Sorry to burst your buble, but we are not drilling for oil here.
