Flows

How oil reaches each country

Where the EU’s crude oil and fuel come from, as each member state reports its imports; every band’s width is proportional to tonnes.

In October 2025, Czechia's road diesel supply was 528 kt: 53% from its own refineries, with imports mainly from Germany (36%) and Slovakia (6%); tracing one step back, the crude behind it is estimated to come mainly from Azerbaijan (20%), Kazakhstan (18%) and Norway (17%), and 12% cannot be traced.

Left: the crude oil behind the fuel (an estimate). Middle: the countries whose refineries made it. Right: Czechia’s supply of road diesel in 2025-10, in tonnes of fuel. Only the middle-to-right flows are reported figures.

Month: 2025-10 (requested). Crude mixes are pooled over 2025-08 to 2025-10.

Fuel that cannot be traced, and the reason

  • Czechia: crude not from imports (39,000 t): The refineries used more crude than the country imported (its own production or stocks). That part is not traced rather than being filled with the import mix.
  • Germany: crude origin not reported (15,786 t): The supplying country's statistics did not say where part of its crude came from.
  • Smaller flows: crude not from imports (5,256 t): The refineries used more crude than the country imported (its own production or stocks). That part is not traced rather than being filled with the import mix.
  • Smaller flows: no refinery (2,000 t): The supplying country has no crude oil refinery (a cited confirmed zero), so the fuel was made elsewhere and passed through. We look back one step only.
  • Only the supplier -> country links are reported figures. The crude -> supplier links are an estimate: each supplier's fuel is split by that supplier's own crude-import mix over the latest three months.
  • Exports are assumed to be drawn from every source in proportion to its share of supply.
  • The chain looks back one country only; fuel re-exported through a supplier is not followed further.
  • Widths are tonnes of this fuel, not tonnes of crude oil: a refinery makes several products from each tonne of crude.
