How it reaches your house.
Starting from Canadian crude oil imports, we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
Crude Oil Feedstock →supply upCrude oil is a critical input to gasoline and diesel refining, so higher crude output should directly lift downstream fuel availability.
95% confidenceGulf Coast crude oil feedstock (jet fraction) →supply upThis input has a critical 0.95 dependency on jet fuel, so more feedstock should directly raise jet fuel availability.
94% confidenceCrude Oil Feedstock →supply upMore crude feedstock eases the refining constraint for heating oil, increasing its downstream availability.
93% confidenceGulf Coast crude oil feedstock (jet fraction) →Stands to benefitExxonMobilXOM
As a listed Gulf Coast supplier with a 9% share of this input market, ExxonMobil should benefit from greater feedstock volume and throughput.
82% confidenceCrude Oil Feedstock →Stands to benefitPBF EnergyPBF
PBF Energy's refining operations are directly tied to crude feedstock, so more supply should improve runs and reduce input pressure.
82% confidenceGulf Coast crude oil feedstock (jet fraction) →Stands to benefitValero’s 7.5% share and moderate substitutability suggest a meaningful benefit from a larger feedstock market.
80% confidenceGulf Coast crude oil feedstock (jet fraction) →Stands to benefitMarathon Petroleum CorporationMPC
Marathon’s 7% share makes it a clear beneficiary of increased availability in this Gulf Coast feedstock market.
80% confidenceCrude Oil Feedstock →Stands to benefitAs a crude-consuming refiner and distributor, Irving Oil benefits from looser feedstock availability and easier crude procurement.
75% confidenceCanadian crude oil imports →supply upIf the Nigerian output increase translates into more crude available through Canadian imports, the imported feedstock available for jet fuel rises modestly via this 0.75-dependency link.
57% confidenceHop 2
Home heating oil →supply upCrude oil feedstock is a critical, fully dependent input for home heating oil, so a large rise in crude output materially increases the availability of that input.
95% confidenceValero Energy →supply upGulf Coast crude oil feedstock (jet fraction)
A large crude-output increase should make Valero's jet-fraction crude feedstock more available through its direct input-supply link.
84% confidenceMarathon Petroleum Corporation →supply up
