Saudi Arabia

In June 2026, Saudi Arabia supplied 2,276 kt of crude oil to EU countries (6.1% of EU crude imports), mainly to Poland, Italy and Lithuania.

In June 2026, Saudi Arabia supplied 1,056 kt of refined products to EU countries (5.5% of EU imports of the seven refined-product families we track), mainly to France, Italy and Romania.

Saudi Arabia's crude inside EU fuel

Estimated

By our estimate, crude from Saudi Arabia is most present in the road diesel of Lithuania (32%), Latvia (29%) and Poland (26%), 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 Saudi Arabia. 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

Calculated

Crude oil

Share through Hormuz: Up to 82% · Both routes; split not known

Saudi Arabia loads crude oil both inside the Persian Gulf and outside it, and no cited source gives the split between them. The share that passes through the Strait of Hormuz is therefore only known as a range, up to 82%; the split is unknown and we give no midpoint.

Refined products

Share through Hormuz: Up to 100% · Both routes; split not known

Saudi Arabia loads refined products both inside the Persian Gulf and outside it, and no cited source gives the split between them. The share that passes through the Strait of Hormuz is therefore only known as a range, up to 100%; the split is unknown and we give no midpoint.

Low. Where a country loads on both sides of the Strait, the split is not published, so only a range is given.

Crude oil: CITED OBSERVED SHARE (upper bound only). EIA: the proportion of Saudi seaborne exports loading at Yanbu on the Red Sea 'reached a record 18% in the second quarter of 2024', so at most 82% of seaborne exports required Hormuz in that quarter. This is an observed quarterly share, NOT a capacity share, and it is an upper bound only: no opened source bounds the minimum, so min is left at 0. Capacity anchors that could not be turned into a defensible share for lack of a cited denominator: East-West (Petroline) design capacity 5 million b/d, temporarily expandable to 7 million b/d; Saudi Arabia shipped 42% (6.2 million b/d) of all crude transiting Hormuz in 2023. Cited: eia.gov, iea.org. Method version 1.0.

Refined products: UNKNOWN: no cited product-terminal split. Export points cited as loading refined products fall on both sides of the strait - inside the Gulf: Ras Tanura (North Pier and Sea Island terminals); Juaymah LPG Terminal (Port of Ras Tanura); King Fahd Industrial Port, Jubail (Petrochemical and Petroleum Products Terminal; SATORP export outlet); outside: Yanbu marine terminals (outlet of the East-West / Petroline crude pipeline); Jazan Bulk Plant Terminal; Jeddah Terminal; Duba Bulk Plant Terminal. No opened source gives the volume split between them, so the bound is the uninformative [0, 1]. The crude bound for this country is NOT carried over: docs/HORMUZ_METHOD.md D2 states that a product's origin is where it was refined and loaded, which is a different set of terminals from the crude ones. Citation caveat: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Fahd_Industrial_Port_(Jubail) is a tertiary (wiki/OSM) source inherited from the classification row for that terminal; it establishes the terminal's location only, and the route class does not rest on it alone. Cited: en.wikipedia.org, saudipedia.com, aramco.com, eia.gov, eia.gov, iea.org, satorp.com. 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.
