Stock and days-of-cover figures are dated 22 July. Scheduled future deliveries are not treated as arrived cargoes.

Officials said on 22 July that the diesel inventory represented about 31 days of cover and published days-of-cover figures for several other fuels.

The reported inventory

The ministry briefing said the diesel stock stood at 344,000 tonnes and described the supply chain as stable at the time of reporting.

Other products

Officials reported days-of-cover estimates for octane, petrol, furnace oil and jet fuel. These are dated inventory indicators rather than forecasts.

Gas remains a separate constraint

The same briefing described gas demand at roughly 3,800 mmcfd and total supply at around 2,700–2,800 mmcfd.

How VOLTLENS will track this

A production fuel monitor should store inventory date, product, volume, consumption assumption, days of cover, scheduled cargoes and confirmed arrivals separately.
