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.

July 2026 is not used yet: only 7 of 27 member states have reported their crude oil imports for it.

  • Volumes are what EU member states reported importing, by the country where the oil was produced (Eurostat nrg_ti_oilm, energy basis). They are not the partner's own export statistics, and a member state that did not list the partner has not reported a zero.

Colombia's crude inside EU fuel

Estimated

By our estimate, crude from Colombia is most present in the road diesel of Luxembourg (2%), Greece (2%) and Belgium (2%), 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 Colombia. All bars share one scale. Untraceable: the share of that country’s fuel whose crude cannot be traced to any origin.

Medium.

Estimated with the fuel-chain look-through: exports are assumed to leave in proportion to supply, and each country’s refineries are assumed to run on its crude-import mix. Method version 1.4. Calculation lookthrough_v1 (1.4).

No CSV for this section: it is our estimate, served by the API with its method.

  • "Inside EU fuel" is an estimate (one-level look-through, docs/HORMUZ_METHOD.md section 8), not a reported figure.

Strait of Hormuz route

Every cited export point for Colombia's crude and products is outside the Persian Gulf: none needs the Strait of Hormuz.

High. 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 Covenas marine terminal in the Golfo de Morrosquillo and the TLU-2 loading buoy 12 km offshore in the Caribbean Sea. 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. Cited: eia.gov, ocensa.com.co. Method version 1.0.

No CSV for this section: the route classes are cited reference data.

  • The Hormuz route describes where the partner loads oil, from cited reference data. Where it loads both inside and outside the Persian Gulf, the split is unknown and only a range is given.
