Supplier to the EU
In June 2026, no EU member state reported importing crude oil from Latvia.
In June 2026, Latvia supplied 15 kt of refined products to EU countries (0.1% of EU imports of the seven refined-product families we track), to Estonia, Lithuania and Poland.

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.
- "EU imports" is the sum of the 27 member states' reported imports, including imports from each other; it is not the EU's external trade.
Refined products to EU countries
CalculatedThe largest were petrol (8.3 kt), LPG (4.1 kt) and road diesel (2.8 kt).

Latvia's crude inside EU fuel
EstimatedIn June 2026, our estimate traces none of Latvia's crude into the road diesel of any of the 26 EU countries it covers. This is an estimate, not a reported figure.
Share: the estimated share of the crude behind each EU country’s fuel that came from Latvia. All bars share one scale. Untraceable: the share of that country’s fuel whose crude cannot be traced to any origin.
Road diesel
Our estimate traces no crude from Latvia into this fuel in any of the 26 EU countries it covers.
Petrol
Our estimate traces no crude from Latvia into this fuel in any of the 26 EU countries it covers.
Jet fuel
Our estimate traces no crude from Latvia into this fuel in any of the 26 EU countries it covers.

Strait of Hormuz route
OfficialEvery cited export point for Latvia's crude and products is outside the Persian Gulf: none needs the Strait of Hormuz.
Export points held for Latvia (2)
| Export point | Water body | Carries | Route |
|---|---|---|---|
| B.L.B. Baltijas Terminals, Freeport of Riga | not recorded | products | Outside the Gulf: no Hormuz transit |
| Vitol Terminal Latvia (VTL, former Ventspils nafta terminals), port of Ventspils | Baltic Sea | 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: Vitol Terminal Latvia at Ventspils, 'on the Baltic Sea coast, within the ice-free port of Ventspils', 1,196,000 m3 of storage, and B.L.B. Baltijas Terminals in the Freeport of Riga. 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. CONSIGNMENT CAVEAT: Latvia has NO refinery and both facilities are transhipment terminals, so product recorded against LV on an origin basis is a re-export of product refined elsewhere. Per the section 2b convention for NL/BE that is recorded here rather than carried as a MIXED [0,1] bound; a reviewer may overrule it. Cited: vtl.lv, portofventspils.lv, rop.lv. Method version 1.0.
