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, Spain's road diesel supply was 670 kt: 33% from its own refineries, with imports mainly from Singapore (27%), Italy (11%) and India (10%); tracing one step back, the crude behind it is estimated to come mainly from the United States (7%), and 58% cannot be traced.

Left: the crude oil behind the fuel (an estimate). Middle: the countries whose refineries made it. Right: Spain’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

  • Singapore: no crude data (178,021 t): We hold no crude import statistics for the supplying country, and we do not assume what its refineries run on.
  • India: no crude data (64,227 t): We hold no crude import statistics for the supplying country, and we do not assume what its refineries run on.
  • Barbados: no crude data (42,583 t): We hold no crude import statistics for the supplying country, and we do not assume what its refineries run on.
  • Oman: no crude data (40,000 t): We hold no crude import statistics for the supplying country, and we do not assume what its refineries run on.
  • Togo: no crude data (37,462 t): We hold no crude import statistics for the supplying country, and we do not assume what its refineries run on.
  • United States: no crude data (15,000 t): We hold no crude import statistics for the supplying country, and we do not assume what its refineries run on.
  • Italy: crude not from imports (8,277 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 not from imports (1,546 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 (1,140 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.
