The article discuss the oil balance of NAZI Germany in 37 - june 44.
The funny side is that some 50% of oil and petrolium products
were supplied by US based companies (the standard oil of New Jersey,
the standard oil of California and the Davis oil company) mainly via
Spain. This includes 100% of oil supply for NAZI subs operating in
Atlantic. All these operations were authorised by US government.

Care to mention, who the other big supplier of oil to Germany until 1941
was?

Do you mean USSR? Sure it was suppling some products including oil.
Unfortunately the article does not report actual numbers which
as far as I remember were within 1-2 mil tons/year in 40. I think
it is due to the subject of the article, the US supply to NAZI
germany. Although there are data on Germany oil balance by the
end of 1941:

Germany total oil demand: 16 mil tons/year
Strategic reserve: 10 mil tons/year
Germany production of synthetic petrolium: 5 mil tons/year
Import from Rumania and Hungary: 6 mil. tons/year
Import from S.Africa via Mediterranean ports: 3 mil tons/year
Import via Standard and Davis: 6 mil tons/year
plus unaccounted refuelling of german subs in South America ports
by EuroTank company (Davis)

Nobody says that USSR was innocent of NAZI collaboration in 39-41.
But US was no better than USSR in that respect. Moreover the fact
is that Hitler was receiving the lion's share of the oil form
western, mainly US, sources in the period of 37-44.
