World Oil Consumption Map
This demand map highlights where petroleum liquids are consumed, which economies anchor refinery throughput, and where import reliance tends to shape crude flows. It complements the production map by showing the pull side of the global oil balance.

| Canada | 2.47 mb/d | 6.18 mb/d |
| Germany | 2.12 mb/d | 0.04 mb/d |
Largest supply deficits
A negative supply balance means consumption is larger than production. These countries are most exposed to imports, refinery-feedstock availability, and shipping-lane disruptions.
How PetroEyes interprets consumption
Consumption is the demand anchor for the oil system. It helps explain where shipping lanes matter, why refinery margins move, and how macro growth or transportation trends can tighten balances. The map should be paired with production because a high-demand country may be self-sufficient in some products and exposed in others.
