Fuel Origin

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 March 2024, Estonia's jet fuel supply was 6.0 kt, all of it imported, from Lithuania (100%); tracing one step back, the crude behind it is estimated to come mainly from Saudi Arabia (40%), Norway (33%) and the United Kingdom (13%).

Left: the crude oil behind the fuel (an estimate). Middle: the country’s own refineries and the countries the fuel was last shipped from, which may be a trading hub rather than where it was refined; the estimate treats each as the refiner. Right: Estonia’s supply of jet fuel in 2024-03, in tonnes of fuel. Only the middle-to-right flows are reported figures.

Month: 2024-03 (requested). Crude mixes are pooled over 2024-01 to 2024-03.

  • 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. Imports are counted under the country the fuel was last shipped from; where that country has refineries, fuel that only passed through it is traced as if it had been refined there.
  • Widths are tonnes of this fuel, not tonnes of crude oil: a refinery makes several products from each tonne of crude.
