How to use the dataset

This dataset is a great resource for anyone looking to analyze the current and historical prices of crude oil imports from the OECD. The data contains prices from member countries of the OECD and is updated regularly. This dataset can be used to study long term trends in price as well as explore differences between countries with different levels of crude oil import demand.

• In order to make use of this dataset, it’s important to familiarize yourself with the column names and descriptions. The first column is LOCATION which indicates which country or region the data applies to. INDICATOR indicates what information is being displayed (e.g., import market share, import value, etc.). SUBJECT describes what category that metric falls into (e.g., fuel energy). MEASURE tells you whether an amount is expressed in a unit or currency while FREQUENCY says how often data has been collected: monthly, quarterly or annually (average monthly/quarterly/annual etc..). TIME displays measure period start date in year-month format and Value denotes numerical value for each row's measurement respectively while flag codes indicate if any values are estimates or outlier measurements that should be examined further before using them

• Using this understanding, one could filter their search by creating filters on these columns accordingly depending on their research topic such as – pulling all records for China for Q4 2019 - then apply sorting on “VALUE” column based on imported measurements have become cheaper during given time frame etc.. Additionally formulas like SUMIFS() can also be used across multiple columns available within this agreement document at same time such as – total Imports Value from India & Japan combined during May 2019 till October 2020 – based upon bringing together Matching condition criteria met across few columns where needed at same time . As such this dataset provides flexible solutions which potentially allow us to explore patterns related either just single country's current trends -or- cross references since global side-by-side evaluation possible here featuring more than just one nation alone too ...........

The 2025 annual OPEC basket price stood at ***** U.S. dollars per barrel as of August. This would be lower than the 2024 average, which amounted to ***** U.S. dollars. The abbreviation OPEC stands for Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and includes Algeria, Angola, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, and the United Arab Emirates. The aim of the OPEC is to coordinate the oil policies of its member states. It was founded in 1960 in Baghdad, Iraq. The OPEC Reference Basket The OPEC crude oil price is defined by the price of the so-called OPEC (Reference) basket. This basket is an average of prices of the various petroleum blends that are produced by the OPEC members. Some of these oil blends are, for example: Saharan Blend from Algeria, Basra Light from Iraq, Arab Light from Saudi Arabia, BCF 17 from Venezuela, et cetera. By increasing and decreasing its oil production, OPEC tries to keep the price between a given maxima and minima. Benchmark crude oil The OPEC basket is one of the most important benchmarks for crude oil prices worldwide. Other significant benchmarks are UK Brent, West Texas Intermediate (WTI), and Dubai Crude (Fateh). Because there are many types and grades of oil, such benchmarks are indispensable for referencing them on the global oil market. The 2025 fall in prices was the result of weakened demand outlooks exacerbated by extensive U.S. trade tariffs.

This data set is used in the Master's thesis: "A Comparison of Price Fluctuations Between Brent Crude Oil and Retail Fuel Prices in Stavanger - An Algorithmic Model for Refueling" by Ola Nes (2021) The data set contains the fuel prices collected (Excel and CSV files), and the Python code which contains all functions used in the thesis. Abstract for thesis: "This thesis investigates and compares the volatility in the retail fuel market in Stavanger and Brent crude oil. Gasoline and diesel prices have been collected from gas stations in Stavanger in 2020 and 2021, and are used for the thesis’ main goal of developing an algorithmic mathematical model for refueling vehicles at optimal times for consumers that could be used in practice. The collected data suggests that there is higher volatility in the retail fuel market in Stavanger compared to the Brent crude oil market. Gas stations follow a characteristic Edgeworth cycle pattern that have price spikes occur when restarting their price cycles. These occur for the most part at the same time across all gas stations monitored in Stavanger. This pattern can be difficult for consumers to predict. Therefore, a practical refueling algorithm could be useful. There are many factors that go in to such a model to make it efficient such as price spike analysis from the Edgeworth cycle pattern found in retail fuel markets and estimating volatility using GARCH(1,1) method."

The author argues that the economic benefits of low gasoline prices for the U.S. economy have fallen substantially since the reemergence of America as a major oil producer. The old rule-of thumb that a 10% fall in the oil price raises inflation-adjusted U.S. GDP by 0.2% is too large—the impact on economic activity should be closer to zero, and may even be negative if consumption grows slowly. The reasons for this change are straightforward, if underappreciated: (i) the value of oil production accounts for a larger share of the U.S. economy; and (ii) consumers are not spending the windfall like they used to because of higher debt levels, limited access to credit, slow wage rowth, and an older population.

During the Q2 of 2024, the price of white oil in the United States reached 1638 USD/MT in June. The U.S. market exhibited stability, driven by a steady supply-demand outlook and regular refinery functions. Despite fluctuating rates of crude oil and minor geopolitical conflicts, the market remained resilient, with only slight seasonal price variations due to increased demand for cosmetic products during summer. In confluence with this, prices remained static compared to earlier quarters, reflecting a dependable pricing environment, ensuring minimal disruption in the white oil market.

About the ProjectKAPSARC is analyzing the shifting dynamics of the global gas markets. Global gas markets have turned upside down during the past five years: North America has emerged as a large potential future LNG exporter while gas demand growth has been slowing down as natural gas gets squeezed between coal and renewables. While the coming years will witness the fastest LNG export capacity expansion ever seen, many questions are raised on the next generation of LNG supply, the impact of low oil and gas prices on supply and demand patterns and how pricing and contractual structure may be affected by both the arrival of U.S. LNG on global gas markets and the desire of Asian buyers for cheaper gas.Key PointsIn the past year, global gas prices have dropped significantly, albeit at unequal paces depending on the region. All else being equal, economists would suggest that this should have generated a positive demand response. However, “all else” was not equal. Prices of other commodities also declined while economic growth forecasts were downgraded. Prices at benchmark points such as the U.K. National Balancing Point (NBP), U.S. Henry Hub (HH) and Japan/Korea Marker (JKM) slumped due to lower oil prices, liquefied natural gas (LNG) oversupply and unseasonal weather. Yet, the prices of natural gas in local currencies have increased in a number of developing countries in Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, former Soviet Union (FSU) and Asia. North America experienced demand growth while gas in Europe and Asia faced rising competition from cheaper coal, renewables and, in some instances, nuclear. Gains to European demand were mostly weather related while increases in Africa and Latin America were not significant. For LNG, Europe became the market of last resort as Asian consumption declined. Moreover, an anticipated surge in LNG supply, brought on by several new projects, may lead to a confrontation with Russian or other pipeline gas suppliers to Europe. At the same time, Asian buyers are seeking concessions on pricing and flexibility in their long-term contracts. Looking ahead, natural gas has to prove itself a credible and affordable alternative to coal, notably in Asia, if the world is to reach its climate change targets. The future of the gas industry will also depend on oil prices, evolution of Chinese energy demand and impact of COP21 on national energy policies. Current low prices mean there is likely to be a pause in final investment decisions (FIDs) on LNG projects in the coming years.
