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
Saudi Aramco →Prices riseBrent crude futures
Houthi attacks on Saudi-linked shipping and deployments coincided with a clear benchmark oil-price move higher, showing the market pricing in supply risk.
“Brent crude futures gained $1.74, or 2.19%, to $81.19 a barrel by 10:59 a.m. EDT (1459 GMT).”
94% confidenceCited →Saudi Aramco →DelaysSaudi Crude Oil Exports
The reported Houthi maritime blockade of Saudi ports directly disrupts crude export flows, implying delayed outbound Saudi oil movements.
“Houthi maritime blockade of Saudi ports have significantly disrupted the kingdom's crude oil exports.”

Jet fuel →Prices riseGulf Coast crude oil feedstock (jet fraction)
Jet fuel is highly dependent on crude feedstock, so a Saudi supply-risk-driven oil price spike raises the cost of this critical input.
95% confidenceSaudi Arabia →Prices riseSaudi Arabia supplies 11.96% of this fuel, so attacks that threaten Saudi oil and shipping flows can lift its price.
89% confidenceJet fuel →DelaysCrude oil sourcing
Disrupted crude movements and shipping risk in the oil market can delay the sourcing step that feeds jet fuel production.
Hop 3
Bitumen / Asphalt Binder →Prices riseBitumen/asphalt binder is a critical, high-dependency input to asphalt and paving materials, so oil-linked cost and supply pressure quickly raises their production costs.
94% confidenceMixed Natural Gas Liquids (NGL Stream) →Prices risePropane home use depends almost entirely on the mixed NGL stream, so a Saudi-related tightening of that stream would lift propane prices and can tighten availability.
92% confidenceMarine Diesel and Bunker Fuel →Prices riseHop 4
Valero Energy →Prices riseGulf Coast crude oil feedstock (jet fraction)
Saudi supply and shipping risk lifts global crude benchmarks, making Valero's crude oil feedstock more expensive and harder to source at the prior price.
88% confidenceExxonMobil →Prices riseSaudi supply disruption lifts crude benchmarks and raises ExxonMobil's crude feedstock costs through this direct input dependency.
