The OilX OMR provides an early assessment of the current supply-demand balance in the global oil market, well ahead of official data. OilX OMR provides a detailed analysis, identifies key trends and main outliers, and displays OilX´s relative position against consensus estimates.

The China Crude Import Tracker leverages OilX’s unique cargo and pipeline tracking capabilities to provide an accurate estimate for crude flows into the Asian country, at least a month before the release of the official data. OilX’s import series has a correlation of over 90% with Chinese customs and an average deviation of less than 500 kb/d.

WAF crudes’ unique location allows them to compete globally. Although predominantly imported by Asian countries, WAF grades reach Europe, the US and even Latin America and therefore provide a unique gauge for global crude demand.

OilX´s unique WAF Tracker aims to provide a snapshot of this otherwise opaque market by showing the pace at which WAF loading programmes are traded, how quickly these programmes are getting fixed, and where are they heading.

As negotiations in Vienna continue, a new nuclear deal with Iran is becoming increasingly likely. This report assesses the magnitude and pace of a potential return of Iranian oil supply to the market.

Amid reports of increased Iranian oil flowing to China, the Memo China Imports from Iran provides a comparison between officially reported figures, AIS cargo tracking, and OilX´s own estimates.

In the context of OPEC production curtailment agreement, the Memo Nigeria Oil Production report analyses how different reporting agencies classify Nigerian condensate production, a key aspect to monitor the country's compliance.

Heavy snowfalls in Austria disrupted the power supply to a pumping station, which resulted in the stoppage of the TAL pipeline.  This report illustrates how to monitor the crude oil flows through the OilX Platform.

OilX was invited by OPEC to present our methodology on how to measure Non-OECD oil inventories and potential scenarios during the pandemic.

In this report, OilX estimates the impact of a strike by Norway's two largest labour unions. Equinor even warned of the possibility of halting production in the Johan Sverdrup oil field.

After heavy conflict between Azerbaijani and Armenian forces broke out in the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region on Sunday 27th September, OilX shows how to monitor flows from the Baku-Tbilisi–Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline that could have been affected by the clashes. 

Libya’s NOC announced plans to increase production, however, a history of unstable production and fragile cease-fire agreements make it essential to monitor the restart with high-frequency data.

OilX’s take on how the latest OPEC+ deal was a mitigating action to decelerate stock builds and avoid reaching tank tops by June – an attempt to ‘flatten the curve’ amid the pandemic.

Crude storage is rapidly increasing, and market structure is in deep contango. The Post OPEC+ Impact reports shows different stock build scenarios.

The attacks on the Abqaiq processing facility and the Khurais onshore field have so far removed an estimated 12 mln bbls from the market. OilX provides estimates on the actual impact as well as potential measures Saudi Arabia could take to minimise the cost of the attack.

High-frequency indicators on Saudi storage and production following the attacks on Abwaiq and Kurais. The report also delivers an assessment on the total amount of domestic storage.
