All figures from the U.S. Energy Information Administration: the Weekly Petroleum Status Report, daily spot prices, the weekly natural gas storage report, and the monthly count of crude imports by origin and exports by destination, which runs about two months behind the water. The world view is each country’s own crude production, import and export report to the JODI-Oil World Database, monthly, with lags that differ by country. Live tanker positions, where shown, come from Fintraffic’s Digitraffic open data for the Baltic (CC BY 4.0) and from aisstream.io’s network of terrestrial AIS receivers elsewhere; both cover the coastal lanes only.
