3.2. List of aggregates

The following list of aggregates shall be declared for all energy products listed in the previous paragraph unless otherwise specified. The following table applies only to crude oil, NGL, refinery feedstocks, additives/oxygenates, biofuels and other hydrocarbons only: 1. Indigenous production Not applicable for refinery feedstocks. 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. 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. 6. Direct use Crude oil, NGL 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 positive number and a stock draw is shown as a negative 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. Production of oxygenates That part of production or from other sources which is ethers such as MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether), TAME (tertiary amyl methyl ether), alcohols such as ethanol and esters and which are used for blending into gasoline and gasoil. The following table does not apply to refinery feedstocks nor to additives/oxygenates: 1. Primary product receipts Includes quantities of indigenous or imported crude oil (including condensate) and indigenous NGL used directly without being processed in a petroleum refinery and quantities of backflows from the petrochemical industry which, although not primary fuel, are used directly. 2. Gross refinery output Production of finished products at a refinery or blending plant. Excludes refinery losses, but includes refinery fuel. 3. Recycled products Finished products which pass a second time through the marketing network, after having been once delivered to final consumers (e.g. used lubricants which are reprocessed). These quantities should be distinguished from petrochemical backflows. 4. Refinery fuel Petroleum products consumed in support of the operation of a refinery. Excludes products used by oil companies outside the refining process, e.g. bunkers or oil tankers. Includes fuels used for the production at the refineries of electricity and heat sold. 5. Imports and exports 6. International marine bunkers 7. Interproduct transfers Quantities reclassified either because their specification has changed or because they are blended into another product. A negative entry for one product is compensated by a positive entry (or several entries) for one or several products and vice versa; the total net effect should be zero. 8. Products transferred Imported petroleum products which are reclassified as feedstocks for further processing in the refinery, without delivery to final consumers. 9. Stock changes A stock build is shown as a positive number and a stock draw is shown as a negative number. 10. Calculated gross inland deliveries This is defined as: primary product receipts + gross refinery output + recycled products - refinery fuel + imports - exports - international marine bunkers + interproduct transfers - products transferred - stock changes. 11. Statistical difference Defined as the calculated gross inland delivery minus the observed one. 12. Observed gross inland deliveries The observed delivery of finished petroleum products from primary sources (e.g. refineries, blending plants, etc.) to the inland market. This figure may differ from the calculated figure due, for example, to differences in coverage and/or differences of definition in different reporting systems. 12.1. Of which: deliveries to international civil aviation 12.2. Of which: deliveries to public power plants 12.3. Of which: deliveries of automotive LPG 12.4. Of which: deliveries (gross) to petrochemical sector 13. Backflows from petrochemical sector to refineries 14. Total net inland deliveries The following opening and closing stocks must be declared for all energy products except for refinery gas: 1. Stocks on national territory Stocks in the following locations: refinery tanks, bulk terminals, pipeline tankage, barges and coastal tankers (when port of departure and destination are in the same country), tankers in a port of a member country (if their cargo is to be discharged at the port), inland ship bunkers. Exclude stocks of oil held in pipelines, in rail tanks cars, in truck tanks cars, in sea-going ships' bunkers, in service stations, in retail stores and in bunkers at sea. 2. Stocks held for other countries under bilateral government agreements Stocks on national territory which belong to another country and to which the access is guaranteed by an agreement between the respective governments. 3. Stocks with known foreign destination Stocks not included in point 2 on national territory which belong to and are destined for another country. These stocks may be located inside or outside bonded areas. 4. Other stocks held in bonded areas Includes stocks neither included in point 2 nor 3 irrespective of whether they have received customs clearance or not. 5. Stocks held by major consumers Include stocks which are subject to government control. This definition does not include other consumer stocks. 6. Stocks held on board incoming ocean vessels in port or at mooring Stocks irrespective of whether they have been cleared by customs or not. This category excludes stocks on board vessels at high seas. Includes oil in coastal tankers if both their port of departure and destination are in the same country. In the case of incoming vessels with more than one port of unloading, only report the amount to be unloaded in the reporting country. 7. Stocks held by government on national territory Includes non-military stocks held within the national territory by government, which are government-owned or controlled and held exclusively for emergency purposes. Excludes stocks held by state oil companies or electric utilities or stocks held directly by oil companies on behalf of governments. 8. Stocks held by stock holding organisation on national territory Stocks held by both public and private corporations established to maintain stocks exclusively for emergency purposes. Excludes mandatory stocks held by private companies. 9. All other stocks held on national territory All other stocks satisfying the conditions described in point 1 above. 10. Stocks held abroad under bilateral government agreements Stocks belonging to the reporting country but held in another country, to which access is guaranteed by an agreement between the respective governments. 10.1. Of which: government stocks 10.2. Of which: holding organisation's stocks 10.3. Of which: other stocks 11. Stocks held abroad designated definitely for import stocks Stocks not included in category 10 which belong to the reporting state but which are held in another state and awaiting import there. 12. Other stocks in bonded areas Other stocks in the national territory not included in the above categories. 13. Pipeline fill Oil (crude oil and petroleum products) contained in pipelines, necessary to maintain the flow in the pipelines. In addition, a breakdown of quantities per corresponding country must be declared for: closing stocks held for other countries under bilateral government agreements, other closing stocks with known foreign destination, closing stocks held abroad under bilateral government agreements, other closing stocks held abroad designated definitely for import into the reporting country. By opening stocks are meant the stocks on the last day of the month preceding the reported one. By closing stocks are meant the stocks on the last day of the reported month. Imports by country of origin, and exports by country of destination.
