NEW YORK, March 1 (Reuters) - U.S. crude oil exports rose to a record high of 5.6 million barrels per day (bpd) last week, according to U.S. Energy Information Administration data on Wednesday.


An over 1 million-bpd jump in exports in the week ended Feb. 24 caused net crude imports to drop to a record low at 600,000 bpd, according to EIA data going back to 2001. Data on crude exports dates back to 1991.
