Oil from Venezuela is flowing into Texas, with lots more on the way

The trace

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.

1. First impact

   Gulf Coast crude oil feedstock (jet fraction) →supply up

   Jet fuel

   This is a critical 95%-dependent input link, so more Gulf Coast crude feedstock should directly raise jet fuel availability.

   97% confidence

   Crude Oil Feedstock →supply up

   Gasoline and diesel

   Crude oil feedstock is a critical direct input to gasoline and diesel, so additional crude supply raises downstream refined-product availability.

   97% confidence

   Crude Oil Feedstock →supply up

   Home heating oil

   Crude feedstock is also a critical direct input to home heating oil, so more feedstock should increase output and availability.

2. Hop 2

   Gasoline and diesel →supply up

   Crude Oil Feedstock

   Venezuelan crude inflows into Texas directly resupply the critical crude feedstock that gasoline and diesel depend on, easing that input constraint.

   93% confidence

   Jet fuel →supply up

   Gulf Coast crude oil feedstock (jet fraction)

   More Venezuelan crude entering Texas directly increases the availability of Gulf Coast jet-feed crude, a critical upstream input to jet fuel.

   89% confidence

   Phillips 66 →supply up
