Petroleum products balance sheet; supply, consumption and stock 1946-2015
Explanation of symbols
Dataset is not available.
This table shows the supply and consumption of petroleum products as a balance sheet. Petroleum products are e.g. fuels such as LPG, motor gasoline and diesel oil. The balance sheet shows all products for processing or consumption in the Netherlands and transit goods.
Supply is calculated as production plus imports minus exports minus bunkers plus net stock changes. This calculation of the supply results in the amount of petroleum products consumed in the Netherlands in the period concerned.
Consumption is broken down by consumption as feedstock for transformation into other petroleum products and final consumption and other transformations (consumption of petroleum products for transformation into other energy commodities, like electricity).
Also published are the opening stock and closing stock of petroleum products.
Data available: From 1946 to 2015

Description topics
- Supply of petroleum products
- The amount of petroleum products primarily available for consumption in the Netherlands. Supply is calculated as production plus imports minus exports minus bunkers plus net stock changes.
- Total supply
- The amount of petroleum products primarily available for consumption in the Netherlands.
- Imports
- Imports of petroleum products.
- Exports
- Exports of petroleum products.
- Bunkers
- Delivery of fuels for international shipping and aviation, i.e. ships and aircraft departing from Dutch (air)ports and arriving in foreign (air)ports. In the energy balance sheet bunkers are considered as a form of export and are not included in energy available for consumption in the Netherlands. Aviation bunkers are distinguished from 1978 onwards. Up to 1978 aviation bunkers are included in final consumption.
- Stock change
- Changes in stock are calculated as opening stock minus closing stock, in accordance with international energy statistics guidelines. A positive figure means that stocks have decreased, and the supply of energy has thus increased. A negative figure means the opposite: an increase in stocks and a decrease in consumption.
- Consumption of petroleum products
- The amount of petroleum products used for transformation into other petroleum products or as final consumption within the Netherlands.
- Total consumption
- Total consumption of petroleum products.
- For transformation in petroleum products
- The amount of petroleum products used as feedstock for transformation into other petroleum products, e.g. distillation of fuel oil in a refinery. Or products are blended into other products, like propane and butane into automotive gas.
- Total for transformation in oil products
- Total input of petroleum products as feedstock for transformation at refineries, petrochemical industry and wholesale (companies storing and trading petroleum products).
- Refineries
- Companies that transform crude oil, other petroleum products (semi-manufactured products) and other feedstocks into useful fossil fuels and other petroleum products. Fuels are LPG, motor gasoline, kerosene and gasoil. Other products are e.g. lubricants and asphalt. Up to 2007 the refineries figure included wholesale (companies storing or trading petroleum products).
- Petrochemical industry
- Companies that transform petroleum products into chemical products. Some other petroleum products become available as a by-products. These come to the market along with petroleum products from refineries. For example the transformation of the chemical product ethylene (a feedstock for plastic) into naphtha and the petroleum product automotive gas delivered to the market for consumption as fuel.
- Wholesale
- Companies storing or trading petroleum products. In common they blend petroleum products just before they are delivered to the market. For example addition of more or less additives to motor gasoline or transport diesel to meet summer or winter specifications. From 2007 onwards wholesale production is published. Up to 2007 the wholesale production was included in the production by refineries.
- Stock of petroleum products
- The amount of the petroleum product stored. It is the amount stored at refineries, the petrochemical industry and wholesale (companies storing and trading petroleum products). Excluded are stocks at petrol stations and other final consumers.
- Opening stock
- The opening amount of stock of petroleum products.
- Closing stock
- The closing amount of stock of petroleum products.
- Stock change
- Changes in stock are calculated as opening stock minus closing stock, in accordance with international energy statistics guidelines. A positive figure means that stocks have decreased, and the supply of energy has thus increased. A negative figure means the opposite: an increase in stocks and a decrease in consumption.
