Russian Crude to Germany Falling: BAFA Data

OIL

German crude oil import volumes rose 13.5% in the first seven months of 2022 versus a year prior according to the latest BAFA data which comes out with a 2-month delay.

  • Russia remained the top supplier over that time – taking 30.5% of that share.
  • 23.6% of imports in the January-July period came from the British and Norwegian North Sea, while imports from OPEC members contributed 16.0%.
  • Oil imports in January through July from all origins increased to 51.0 million tonnes, from 44.9 million in the same months of 2021.
