The crude behind Czechia's jet fuel
- 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 jet fuel available in Czechia was refined in Czechia (56%), followed by Germany (38%).
Czechia's refineries ran on crude from Azerbaijan (32%), Saudi Arabia (25%) and Kazakhstan (21%), going by its crude imports in May–July 2026.
Taken together, an estimated 20% of the crude behind Czechia's jet fuel came from Kazakhstan, 20% from Azerbaijan and 14% from Saudi Arabia; 3% cannot be traced.
Up to 15% of the crude behind Czechia's jet fuel is estimated to have passed through the Strait of Hormuz, a moderate 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.
Hormuz and the pump price in Czechia
Calculated- At most 15% of the crude behind Czechia's jet fuel in July 2026 could have passed through Hormuz.
