Kayrros Crude Oil Inventories

Track onshore and offshore crude oil inventories with near real-time data updates.

Kayrros Crude Oil Inventories gives users a detailed view of crude oil stocks from tank to terminal to country level. The service uses satellite imagery, machine-learning algorithms and proprietary technology to measure crude oil inventories across onshore tanks, floating storage and oil on water.


Designed for traders and analysts who need timely, independent signals on inventory movements, Kayrros Crude Oil Inventories helps users build balances with greater confidence and identify changes in market conditions earlier. The dataset is point in time and back-testable, with daily updates, more than eight years of historical data, and delivery through dashboards, API, email and csv.


For customers seeking higher-frequency signals, the High Frequency Crude Oil Inventories add-on provides near-daily inventory intelligence, leveraging the same satellite-derived monitoring infrastructure.

Accurate data input for balances and crude oil flows


The service is built on measured crude oil inventories rather than balance-based estimation. It is designed to reduce the noise that can distort intra-month balances and delay market interpretation.


By relying on direct measurement, users can monitor stock changes with greater confidence, refine global and regional balances earlier, and build a clearer view of underlying market conditions.

Timely signals for faster market interpretation


Near real-time measurements and daily updates help users detect changes in crude inventories earlier and compare stock movements across locations more effectively.


Regular reporting on key hubs, including Cushing, adds timely visibility into important prompt-market signals. The result is a stronger fundamental signal for identifying shifts in market regime and assessing potential price direction. For an even earlier read between updates, our high frequency add-on offers a near-daily revisit rate. 

Global coverage with granular visibility


Coverage spans global onshore crude inventories, oil on water and floating storage, giving users a broader view of available supply. The dataset can be explored from regional level down to individual tanks, with filters across stock type and geography.


That supports both high-level market monitoring and more detailed local analysis, while ensuring the dataset remains focused on crude oil rather than refined products.

Users can work with daily updated data in the format that best suits their process, whether that is discretionary trading, internal balance modelling or systematic analysis. Historical depth and point-in-time construction also support back-testing and signal development over time.
