This first alert service shows changes in volumes from major producing regions, allowing clients to anticipate crude inventory changes in key consuming regions at least three to six weeks before they become measurable in "official" statistics and other industry sources.

Each week clients receive a 45 page PDF report with concise commentary of the latest developments and trends affecting oil loadings, oil in transit and oil imports. Featuring a series of comparative tables and graphs benchmarking current weekly and monthly trends against the previous year for each importing and exporting region.
