10 November 2026 Oil S&D Enhancements

Written by Teresa Deverill

We've introduced a series of enhancements to Kpler Oil Supply & Demand (S&D), expanding country coverage, improving visibility into market balances, and making it easier to track historical changes and integrate data into existing workflows.

Here's a look at what's new.

Expanded crude oil country coverage

We've added Suriname and Uganda to our Crude Oil S&D coverage, providing a more comprehensive view of global supply and demand fundamentals.

Both countries are now available for analysis alongside existing markets. This is an additive enhancement, with no changes to existing coverage or datasets.

Greater visibility into market balances

A new interactive side panel in the Overview tab makes it easier to understand the country-level contributions behind supply and demand figures.

Clicking any cell reveals the five largest and five smallest country contributors for the selected metric and period, with the option to explore the complete breakdown. This helps users identify what's driving market balances without navigating away from the Overview.

Compare historical S&D snapshots

Users can now compare current S&D figures against any historical snapshot dating back to June 2022, across all products.

Available alongside the existing "Changes vs previous updates" toggle, this functionality makes it easier to identify revisions, assess how market expectations have evolved, and understand changes between successive assessments.

Oil S&D now available through API V2

Oil S&D data is now accessible through the upgraded Kpler API V2, including balances, snapshots, product information and U.S. balances.

Updated API documentation supports integration into existing analytical models, internal systems and automated workflows.

Additional units for greater flexibility

We've introduced two additional units of measurement, metric tonnes per day (mt/d) and kilotonnes per day (kt/d), across all oil products except ethane.

These options make it easier to analyse and compare S&D data using the units best suited to your workflows.

Improved visibility into global refinery runs

Global Refinery Runs is now available as a dedicated row in the Crude Overview tab.

This addition provides direct visibility into global refinery crude intake, making it easier to assess the demand side of the crude balance alongside supply and other key market indicators.


Explore the latest enhancements

Together, these updates provide greater transparency into the drivers of oil supply and demand, more flexibility in historical analysis, and easier access to data across the Kpler ecosystem.
