Oil consumption: demand for petroleum products · New Zealand · 2024
Oil consumption in 2024 according to EIA: statistical consumption of refined petroleum products, including biofuel components contained in the source. Covers energy and non-energy uses; not solely road fuel consumption or a measurement of territorial combustion. Annual litres are derived from the published annual average in barrels per day and 366 calendar days; no conversion from tonnes. One point represents 100,000 litres. World view uses known map areas only, without extrapolation; random points are not actual consumption locations.
Annual value and context
9,329,692,480 litres
Original period: 2024-01-01 to 2024-12-31 · Reported by source
No matching population figure for the original year is available here. No value per 100,000 inhabitants is therefore calculated.
- Indicator
- INTL.54-2-TBPD.A
- Original unit
- thousand barrels per day
- Conversion
- annual mean × 1000 × calendar days × 158.987294928
- Original EIA series: Refined petroleum products consumption. Product scope replaces the earlier JODI definition; these series are not identical measurements.
- Biofuels/biogenic blends included by the source are not subtracted. EIA's US explanation explicitly includes biofuels; no claim of exclusively fossil petroleum quantities. Definition: https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=33&t=10 and https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/oil-and-petroleum-products/use-of-oil.php
- Consumption may be based on product supplied or apparent consumption and include statistical estimates; not a direct measure of actual combustion or current individual events. Non-energy products are included.
- Volume conversion: annual average in thousand barrels/day × 1,000 × actual calendar days × 158.987294928 litres/barrel. No density assumptions; rounded to whole litres without a claim of such precision.
- EIA bulk data provide no separate country uncertainty values or estimate flags for this series. Missing flags do not demonstrate measurement accuracy; original metadata are retained.
- World view uses known map areas only, without global extrapolation or allocation of regional aggregates. Random polygon points are a display model, not consumption locations.
Coverage and quantity per point
210 of 239 countries and territories with data. Known values for other areas are marked separately in the table; unassigned epicentres are not a country.
Normal map view: 100,000 litres / point. In focus: 100,000 litres / point. Quantity controls do not change annual values.

What the map shows
The map simulates statistical times from annual data. It does not report individual events actually happening now. Point counters show currently visible simulated points; the timeline records only regular points observed during the session.
Random points within a country are a display model, not actual event locations or regional consumption hotspots. Earthquakes retain their historical USGS epicentres. Start examples are labelled and excluded from counts. Background gaps are not replayed.
Original years, national definitions and recording boundaries differ. Tables are alphabetical and do not provide a reliable country ranking. With mixed source years, the breakdown of death points is a display model, not an exact balance of causes. Point quantities and fade durations do not change annual values.
