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 December 2025, Romania's road diesel supply was 720 kt: 57% from its own refineries, with imports mainly from Saudi Arabia (26%); tracing one step back, the crude behind it is estimated to come mainly from Kazakhstan (20%) and Azerbaijan (12%), and 53% cannot be traced.

Left: the crude oil behind the fuel (an estimate). Middle: the countries whose refineries made it. Right: Romania’s supply of road diesel in 2025-12, in tonnes of fuel. Only the middle-to-right flows are reported figures.

Month: 2025-12 (requested). Crude mixes are pooled over 2025-10 to 2025-12.

Fuel that cannot be traced, and the reason

  • Saudi Arabia: no crude data (190,000 t): We hold no crude import statistics for the supplying country, and we do not assume what its refineries run on.
  • Romania: crude not from imports (111,818 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.
  • Bahrain: no crude data (28,000 t): We hold no crude import statistics for the supplying country, and we do not assume what its refineries run on.
  • Israel: no crude data (19,000 t): We hold no crude import statistics for the supplying country, and we do not assume what its refineries run on.
  • Türkiye: no crude data (19,000 t): We hold no crude import statistics for the supplying country, and we do not assume what its refineries run on.
  • Smaller flows: no crude data (11,000 t): We hold no crude import statistics for the supplying country, and we do not assume what its refineries run on.
  • Smaller flows: crude not from imports (2,941 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: crude origin not reported (95 t): The supplying country's statistics did not say where part of its crude came from.
  • 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.
