Supplier to the EU
Albania
In June 2026, Albania supplied 19 kt of crude oil to EU countries (0.1% of EU crude imports), all of it to Spain.
In June 2026, Albania supplied 2.3 kt of refined products to EU countries (less than 0.1% of EU imports of the seven refined-product families we track), to Greece, Bulgaria and the Netherlands.

Basis: energy statistics. All volumes are on the energy basis: the country where the oil was produced, as each EU member state reports its imports to Eurostat (dataset nrg_ti_oilm). "EU imports" is the sum of what the member states reported importing from everywhere, including from each other and the part they did not attribute to any country.

Albania's crude inside EU fuel
EstimatedBy our estimate, crude from Albania is most present in the road diesel of Spain (less than 1%), Malta (less than 1%) and Portugal (less than 1%), as a share of the crude behind each country's road diesel in June 2026. This is an estimate built from trade and refinery statistics, not a reported figure.
Share: the estimated share of the crude behind each EU country’s fuel that came from Albania. All bars share one scale. Untraceable: the share of that country’s fuel whose crude cannot be traced to any origin.

Strait of Hormuz route
OfficialEvery cited export point for Albania's crude and products is outside the Persian Gulf: none needs the Strait of Hormuz.
Export points held for Albania (2)
| Export point | Water body | Carries | Route |
|---|---|---|---|
| La Petrolifera Italo Albanese (PIA) coastal terminal, Bay of Vlora | Adriatic Sea | crude and products | Outside the Gulf: no Hormuz transit |
| Porto Romano terminal, Durres | not recorded | crude and products | Outside the Gulf: no Hormuz transit |

- Low. Where a country loads on both sides of the Strait, the split is not published, so only a range is given.
Crude and products: All cited export points lie outside the Persian Gulf: the La Petrolifera Italo Albanese terminal in the Bay of Vlora at the entrance of the Adriatic Sea, and Porto Romano at Durres. The Strait of Hormuz is the sole outlet of the Persian Gulf, so the Hormuz-requiring share is 0 by geographic construction, not by estimate. Albania is a genuine producer and exporter: the US Department of Commerce records crude exports falling from 935,947 t in 2012 to 565,728 t in 2018. No opened page says in so many words that Vlora is the crude EXPORT point - the Albanian EITI site failed DNS resolution and the AKBN regulator site served an untrusted TLS chain.
