It supports analysis of exploration, drilling, reserves, crude-oil and natural-gas production, refining, petroleum-product consumption, sales, foreign trade, manpower, prices and petroleum taxation. Historical series facilitate comparison across calendar and financial years, while company-wise, state-wise, refinery-wise, product-wise and sector-wise information enables detailed assessment. The chronology of important events provides historical context to the statistical data. Information on tanker capacity, port traffic and freight rates further supports analysis of petroleum transportation and trade.
