Global oil logistics

Global Oil Trade Routes Map

This page separates logistics from country production and consumption. The trade-routes map focuses on the corridors that connect surplus regions to demand centers, with special attention to maritime chokepoints where physical concentration can turn local disruption into global price risk.

Year and view

2025 comes from the history file global_oil_history.json (last updated 2026-10-16), which carries production, consumption, exports, and imports for 76 countries for every year from 2015 to 2025. The history file does not label individual years as estimates, so years are shown as reported in that file. The map year slider and play control move through the same years, plus the labeled 2026 estimate year.

Change views need two history years for the selected metric, so they are not available in the trade routes view.

World totals 2025

From the history file's own WLD row for 2025, not a sum of the listed countries. Net balance is computed as world production minus world consumption. Changes are computed against 2024.

United States in 2025

United States produced 25.3 mb/d and used 20.45 mb/d in 2025: a surplus of 4.85 mb/d it could export or put into storage.

Every metric for United States in 2025. Rank is computed from the history file for 2025 among the listed countries. Share is of the world total (the WLD row) for 2025; no share is shown for net balance because balances include negative values. Changes are computed.

World Production over time

World totals are the history file's own WLD row for each year, not a sum of the listed countries. The chart covers 2015 to 2025, the years in the history file.

World Production (mb/d)

2026 world outlook, from the checked-in forecast files (world level only)

World production forecasts for 2026 in oil_forecasts.json (file last updated 2026-02-14): IEA 106.7 mb/d, OPEC 107.4 mb/d, EIA 106.8 mb/d. The OPEC file (OPEC Monthly Oil Market Report (August 2026)) puts 2026 non-DoC liquids production at 54.84 mb/d; that is a partial total, not world production.

Compare two countries

Pick any two listed countries to see them side by side for 2025: every metric, each country's rank (computed from the history file) and share of the world total, and an overlaid chart of production from 2015 to 2026. Change either pick, or clear both, at any time.

No countries picked yet. Start typing in either box to pick the first country.

Country data 2025: Production

Values are in million barrels per day (mb/d). Net balance is computed as production minus consumption and is labeled computed wherever it appears. Change figures are computed from the history file as the selected year minus the comparison year, in mb/d and in percent.

Share is a share of world total: the denominator is the history file's own WLD total for 2025 and the selected metric. For net balance, a share is not shown, because net balances include negative values and a percentage of a net total would be misleading.

The table covers only the 76 countries in the data files. Countries in neutral slate on the map have no data for the selected year and are not colored as zero. Only the default year (2025) table is in the first served HTML; other years load from the same checked-in data in your browser. Trade routes are selected on the map, so the table, charts, and top 10 list show Production until you pick a metric.

The CSV holds all 76 listed countries for 2025 with every metric, the share of world for production, and the computed changes for that metric against the prior year and 2015.

How to read the route map

The route view is a logistics model. A thick line indicates a larger corridor, while chokepoint markers show places where many cargoes converge. The map should be used with the production map and the consumption map because trade pressure emerges where surplus supply meets deficit demand.

Route estimates are rounded and should not be treated as live cargo tracking. They are useful for explaining exposure to route disruptions, sanctions, freight bottlenecks, insurance risk, refinery supply planning, and seaborne crude availability.
