Crude and petroleum products balance sheet; supply and consumption

Table explanation

Description topics

Supply

The amount of crudes and petroleum products that has primarily become available for consumption in the Netherlands. Supply is calculated as indigenous production plus other sources plus production plus imports minus exports minus bunkers plus stock changes. This calculation of the supply results in the amount of crudes and petroleum products consumed in the Netherlands in the period concerned.

Imports

Imports of crudes and petroleum products.

Inland

Receipts of crudes and petroleum products from abroad directly to the inland.

Exports

Exports of crudes and petroleum products.

Inland

Exports of crudes and petroleum products from the Netherlands to abroad.

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.

International inland shipping

Delivery of fuels for international inland shipping. This concerns ships in Dutch ports and arriving in / at foreign ports. The post bunkers are seen in the energy balance as a form of export. The fuel will not be available for consumption in the Netherlands.

Consumption

The amount of crudes and petroleum products used for transformation into other petroleum products or as final consumption within the national borders of the Netherlands.

Final consumption

Final consumption of energy. No useful energy commodity remains. This can be final energy consumption, like motor gasoline in a car, or non energy use, like naphtha in petrochemical industry.

Final consumption transport sector

All domestic passenger and freight transport by rail, road, water and air.

Excludes transport on own premises and consumption of mobile equipment.

Total transport

Total domestic transport.

Road transport

Bonded area movement

Goods flow from bonded area to the inland for which no excise and import duties have been paid.

Bonded area to inland

Foreign goods from bonded area to inland for processing and use.

Stocks

The amount of crudes and petroleum products stored in the Netherlands at the beginning and the end of the reporting period.

Opening stocks

The amount of crudes and petroleum products stored at the beginning of the reporting period.

Inland

Opening stock in the inland.

Closing stocks

The amount of crudes and petroleum products stored at the end of the reporting period.

Inland

Closing stock in the inland.

Total Obligated stocks (WVA)

Mandatory stock of crudes and petroleum products held under the law for strategic oil stocks, in Dutch: ‘Wet Voorraadvorming Aardolieproducten’ (WVA). As an OECD country, the Netherlands is obliged to maintain a strategic amount of oil is case of an emergency or oil crisis.
