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
Elemental Sulfur (from Oil/Gas Processing) →Shortage riskElemental sulfur is a critical direct feedstock for sulfuric acid, so a supply disruption would quickly constrain acid production.
85% confidenceElemental Sulfur (from Oil/Gas Processing) →Shortage riskFertilizer and crop-input production depends heavily on elemental sulfur, so a sulfur shortfall would tighten availability downstream.
83% confidenceCanadian crude oil imports →Shortage riskVenezuela is 2.3% of this crude-import basket, so a seizure/nationalization shock to Venezuelan oil assets would slightly cut or delay that slice of supply.
Hop 2
Venezuela →Shortage riskA takeover that disrupts Venezuelan crude output and exports would directly tighten the 3.5% supply share Venezuela provides to crude oil feedstock.
94% confidenceVenezuela →Shortage riskGulf Coast crude oil feedstock (jet fraction)
Venezuela's oil-output disruption would reduce this 2.3% supply share of Gulf Coast crude oil feedstock used in the jet fraction stream.
86% confidenceVenezuela →Shortage risk
