About EuroOilWatch

EuroOilWatch is an independent transparency dashboard that tracks fuel reserves, pump prices, and crude oil market data across the European Union's 27 member states.

The project was inspired by NZOilWatch, which brought fuel security transparency to New Zealand and Australia. Europe has abundant official data — Eurostat, the EC Weekly Oil Bulletin, national regulators — but no single place that presents it clearly for the public. EuroOilWatch fills that gap.

Why This Matters

EU countries are required to maintain emergency oil stocks equivalent to at least 90 days of net imports. During supply disruptions — such as the 2022 energy crisis and the 2026 Middle East conflict — these reserves are a critical safety buffer. Public visibility into reserve levels helps citizens, journalists, and policymakers make informed decisions.

How It Works

An automated pipeline fetches data from official EU sources (Eurostat, DG Energy), normalises it into a common format, and presents it on this dashboard. An AI model (Claude by Anthropic) generates plain-English analysis of the latest data. See the Methodology page for full details.
