About

Readings is free, source-labelled data on North American crude oil and natural gas, built from public filings.

The numbers behind pipelines, terminals and refineries are public but scattered across thousands of filings. This site puts them in one place, for analysts, reporters and anyone who wants to see where the oil and gas go.

What’s here

Crude Monthly supply and demand for the US and Canada, flows pipeline by pipeline, and Texas pipeline volumes from Railroad Commission filings.
Nat Gas In progress Daily LNG feedgas by terminal. Not published yet.

How it works

Public sources only. The EIA, FERC, the Railroad Commission of Texas, the Canada Energy Regulator and Statistics Canada.
Every figure carries its source. You can see where each number came from.
Reported and estimated are labelled apart. Where a source is incomplete, the gap is shown, not filled.

An independent personal project, not affiliated with any agency or company named here. Nothing here is trading advice.
