Feasibility study of the availability of international petroleum supply data

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5539839
A complete inventory was performed to determine the availability of source materials which provide supply-demand statistics for foreign countries. Special effort was made to determine the availability of sources which report the sulfur content of crude oil and residual fuel oil. The inventory revealed that approx. 500 publications must be perused for extractive data, in order to obtain annual foreign petroleum supply and demand statistics. This report presents an evaluation of available source material on crude oil reserves; crude oil production; crude oil refined products trade; refining capacity and production; refined products consumption; and international bunkering. An analysis is presented of foreign refineries and transport problems.
