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.
