| *Total primary oil supply, TPOS, is made up of oil refinery production, plus imports, less exports, less marine bunkers and plus or less stock changes. | |||||||
| **Final consumption is made up of TPOS less public electricity, less oil refinery consumption. |
The total consumption by industry, transport, agriculture, commercial and residential is equal to final consumption.
