  3. 3

    The crude behind France's petrol

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 June 2026, most petrol available in France was refined in France (74%), followed by the Netherlands (21%).

France's refineries ran on crude from the United States (22%), Kazakhstan (20%) and Nigeria (10%), going by its crude imports in April–June 2026.

Taken together, an estimated 23% of the crude behind France's petrol came from the United States, 17% from Kazakhstan and 10% from Norway; 7% cannot be traced.

Up to 8% of the crude behind France's petrol is estimated to have passed through the Strait of Hormuz, a limited 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.
