    The crude behind Bulgaria's road diesel

    • Also:
    • Other origins (22) 3%
    • Cannot be traced 97%
Assumptions
  • Exports are assumed to be drawn from every source in proportion to its share of supply.
  • Each country's refineries are assumed to run on its crude-import mix over the latest three months.
  • The chain looks back one country only; fuel re-exported through a supplier is not followed further.
  • The crude origin is the producing country the statistics report, not the loading terminal, so the Hormuz answer is a range wherever a producer loads both inside and outside the Persian Gulf.

In July 2026, most road diesel available in Bulgaria was refined in Bulgaria (97%).

Taken together, no single crude origin accounts for 5% or more of the crude behind Bulgaria's road diesel; 97% cannot be traced.

The largest untraced part (97%) is there because Bulgaria's statistics did not say where part of its crude came from.

Up to 98% of the crude behind Bulgaria's road diesel is estimated to have passed through the Strait of Hormuz, a significant dependence judged on the upper bound. No midpoint is published: crude that cannot be traced is counted as anything from none to all of it.

This is an estimate, not a reported figure: it assumes exports are drawn proportionally from every source and that each country's refineries run on its crude-import mix, and it looks back only one country.
