FAQ
Light ends and middle distillates are refined petroleum products used across transport, petrochemicals and industry. Light ends include products such as gasoline, naphtha, condensates and blending components, while middle distillates cover diesel, gasoil, jet fuel and kerosene. These products sit at the core of global fuel demand and petrochemical feedstock supply chains.
Kpler provides highly granular, real-time and historical data across the full value chain, including:
- Cargo-level trade flows and vessel tracking
- Detailed product classifications down to grade and specification
- Supply, demand and stock balances
- Freight analytics and vessel performance
- Price forecasts and long-term outlooks
- Refinery runs, feedstocks and product outputs
This enables users to analyze how refined products are produced, traded, blended and consumed globally.
Kpler offers extensive gasoline and blending component coverage, including:
- Regional gasoline grades (RBOB, CBOB, Eurobob, PBOB)
- Multiple octane levels and ethanol blends (E5, E10)
- Refinery streams like catalytic cracked gasoline and straight run gasoline
- Key blending components such as alkylate, reformate, isomerate and ethanol
- Oxygenates including MTBE, ETBE and TAME
This level of detail helps users understand blending economics, regulatory impacts and regional fuel specifications.
Yes. Kpler provides granular visibility into naphtha and condensate markets, including:
- Light, heavy, virgin and catalytic naphtha
- Petrochemical and GTL naphtha streams
- Condensate-derived products and global condensate grades
This allows users to analyze how feedstocks move between refining and petrochemical sectors and how demand shifts between fuel blending and chemical production.
Kpler delivers comprehensive middle distillate coverage, including:
- Ultra low sulphur diesel (ULSD), low and high sulphur diesel
- Marine diesel and multiple gasoil grades (from 50ppm to high sulphur)
- Heating oil and distillate blendstocks
- Jet fuel and kerosene grades (Jet A-1, JP fuels, SAF blends)
This enables detailed analysis of regulation-driven demand, regional consumption patterns and aviation fuel trends.
Kpler tracks real-time cargo movements and vessel activity across global shipping networks.
Users can:
- Monitor flows between refining hubs and demand regions
- Analyze vessel status (laden, ballast, idle)
- Track congestion at key ports and terminals
- Identify disruptions affecting supply chains
This provides a clear view of how refined products move across international markets.
Kpler’s freight analytics cover 9,900+ vessels, enabling users to:
- Track fleet deployment and utilization
- Analyze ton-mile demand and vessel speeds
- Monitor port congestion and waiting times
- Use freight calculators for voyage planning
This helps users understand shipping costs, capacity and logistics risks across gasoline, naphtha, diesel and jet fuel markets.
