  1. 1

    Latvia: road diesel available in June 2026

    Everything refined in the country plus everything imported.

  2. 2

    Where that fuel came from

    Lithuania's refineries ran on (going by its crude imports, April–June 2026)

    Finland's refineries ran on (going by its crude imports, April–June 2026)

    Estonia: re-exported; origin not traceable.

  3. 3

    The crude behind Latvia's road diesel

Assumptions
  • Exports are assumed to be drawn from every source in proportion to its share of supply.
  • Each country's refineries are assumed to run on its crude-import mix over the latest three months.
  • The chain looks back one country only; fuel re-exported through a supplier is not followed further.
  • The crude origin is the producing country the statistics report, not the loading terminal, so the Hormuz answer is a range wherever a producer loads both inside and outside the Persian Gulf.

In June 2026, most road diesel available in Latvia came from Lithuania (86%), followed by Finland (13%).

Lithuania's refineries ran on crude from Norway (38%), Saudi Arabia (33%) and the United States (18%), going by its crude imports in April–June 2026.

Taken together, an estimated 42% of the crude behind Latvia's road diesel came from Norway, 29% from Saudi Arabia and 17% from the United States; 2% cannot be traced.

Up to 26% of the crude behind Latvia's road diesel is estimated to have passed through the Strait of Hormuz, a moderate dependence judged on the upper bound. No midpoint is published: crude that cannot be traced is counted as anything from none to all of it.

This is an estimate, not a reported figure: it assumes exports are drawn proportionally from every source and that each country's refineries run on its crude-import mix, and it looks back only one country.
