"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.

Ghana's crude inside EU fuel
EstimatedBy our estimate, crude from Ghana 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 Ghana. All bars share one scale. Untraceable: the share of that country’s fuel whose crude cannot be traced to any origin.
Road diesel
| EU country | Share, as a bar | Share | Untraceable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spain | <1% | 41% | |
| Malta | <1% | 57% | |

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).

Strait of Hormuz route
OfficialEvery cited export point for Ghana's crude and products is outside the Persian Gulf: none needs the Strait of Hormuz.
Export points held for Ghana (1)
| Export point | Water body | Carries | Route |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jubilee field FPSO Kwame Nkrumah offtake | Atlantic Ocean (Gulf of Guinea) | crude | Outside the Gulf: no Hormuz transit |

- 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: tanker offtake from the Jubilee FPSO Kwame Nkrumah in the Tano Basin, Gulf of Guinea. 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. Ghana has no onshore crude loading jetty; the TEN and Sankofa FPSOs are producing but no opened page states their water body, so they are not recorded. Cited: petrocom.gov.gh, nsenergybusiness.com. Method version 1.0.

- 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.
