What oil and chemicals intelligence does Kpler provide?

Kpler delivers end-to-end intelligence across crude oil, refined products, chemicals, and LPG — covering cargo flows, freight, refineries, and inventories. Asset-level data is tracked in real time across all major trade routes, validated by in-house analysts, and available via terminal, API, Snowflake, or direct integration into internal AI tools and models.

How many oil and chemical grades does Kpler track?

Kpler tracks 650+ oil grades globally, including 90+ clean petroleum product grades, 20+ dirty petroleum product grades, and 70+ chemical product grades including olefins and LPG. This covers over 43 million barrels per day of crude oil and 1,257,000+ Kt of clean petroleum products tracked annually.

How does Kpler track crude oil and refined product cargo flows?

Kpler combines proprietary terrestrial and satellite AIS data with satellite imagery, drone data, customs records, and port intelligence to track cargo movements at asset level across all major trade routes. Data is enriched by in-house analysts and validated against multiple independent sources, delivering a 98.5% accuracy rating for crude exports from the world's top five exporting countries.

What refinery intelligence does Kpler offer?

Kpler monitors 1,000+ refineries globally at unit level, tracking statuses, outages, crude utilisation, product output, feedstock units, and refining capacity. Crude run estimates and product yield data are sourced from an exclusive partner and validated by in-house analysts, enabling supply and demand views that are months ahead of other providers.

How far back does Kpler's oil and chemicals data go?

Kpler has tracked crude oil since 2016 and has built over 15 years of longitudinal trade data across its broader platform. This historical depth is critical for back-testing quantitative models, identifying structural trade patterns, and providing a reliable foundation for AI and machine learning applications.

Can I integrate Kpler's oil and chemicals data into my own systems?

Yes. Kpler data is accessible via API, SDK, Snowflake, Kafka stream, and Excel add-in, enabling direct integration into internal systems, proprietary trading models, and BI tools. Kpler also supports Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing users to connect Kpler data directly to internal LLMs such as Claude for natural-language data queries and AI-driven analysis.
