1. Indigenous production Not applicable for refinery feedstocks and for biofuels. 2. From other sources additives, biofuels and other hydrocarbons, the production of which has already been covered in other fuel balances. Not applicable for crude oil, NGL and refinery feedstocks. 2.1. Of which: from coal Includes liquids produced from coal liquefaction plants, liquid output from coke ovens. 2.2. Of which: from natural gas The manufacture of synthetic gasoline may require natural gas as feedstock. The amount of gas for methanol manufacture is declared according to Chapter 2, while the receipts of methanol are declared here. 2.3. Of which: from renewables Includes biofuels which are for blending with transport fuels. Production is declared as per Chapter 5, while amounts for blending are declared here. 3. Backflows from petrochemical sector Finished or semi-finished products which are returned from final consumers to refineries for processing, blending or sale. They are usually by-products of petrochemical manufacturing. Only applicable for refinery feedstocks. 4. Products transferred Imported petroleum products which are reclassified as feedstocks for further processing in the refinery, without delivery to final consumers. Only applicable for refinery feedstocks. 5. Imports and exports Includes quantities of crude oil and products imported or exported under processing agreements (i.e. refining on account). Crude oil and NGLs should be reported as coming from the country of ultimate origin; refinery feedstocks and finished products should be reported as coming from the country of last consignment. Includes any gas liquids (e.g. LPG) extracted during the regasification of imported liquefied natural gas and petroleum products imported or exported directly by the petrochemical industry. Note: all trade of biofuels which have not been blended with transport fuels (i.e. in their pure form) should be reported in the Renewables Questionnaire. Re-exports of oil imported for processing within bonded areas should be included as an export of product from the processing country to the final destination. 6. Direct use Crude oil, NGL, additives and oxygenates (and the part which are biofuels), and other hydrocarbons used directly without being processed in petroleum refineries. Includes crude oil burned for electricity generation. 7. Stock changes A stock build is shown as a negative number and a stock draw is shown as a positive number. 8. Calculated refinery intake Total amount of product calculated to have entered the refinery process. It is defined as: indigenous production + from other sources + backflows from industry + products transferred + imports - exports - direct use + stock changes 9. Statistical differences Defined as the calculated refinery intake minus the observed one. 10. Observed refinery intake Amounts measured as input to refineries 11. Refinery losses The difference between refinery intake (observed) and gross refinery output. Losses may occur during the distillation processes due to evaporation. Reported losses are positive. There may be volumetric gains but no gains in mass. 12. Opening and closing total stocks on national territory All stocks on national territory, including stocks held by governments, by major consumers or by stockholding organisations, stocks held on board incoming ocean vessels, stocks held in bonded areas and stocks held for others, whether under bilateral government agreement or not. Opening and closing refers to the first and to the last day of the reporting period respectively. 13. Net calorific value Production, imports and exports, and overall average.
