The crude behind Latvia'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 Latvia came from Lithuania (82%), followed by Estonia (9%).
Lithuania's refineries ran on crude from Norway (38%), Saudi Arabia (33%) and the United States (18%), going by its crude imports in April–June 2026.
Taken together, an estimated 37% of the crude behind Latvia's petrol came from Norway, 28% from Saudi Arabia and 16% from the United States; 11% cannot be traced.
The largest untraced part (9%) is there because Estonia has no crude oil refinery, so that fuel was made elsewhere and is followed only one step back.
Up to 34% of the crude behind Latvia's petrol 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.
