Petro-Logistics’ OPEC Monitor remains to this day the go to publication to get a clear view on OPEC members crude oil production in a timely manner in a world of many competing third party estimates of the producer group’s output.
Analyst
Middle East NOC
Petro-Logistics has two clear advantages over competitors. The first would be the use of “on ground” sources or sources that have access to information that may not be revealed by satellite or other tracking devices. The second is providing information not only on exports but production and domestic consumption.
Head of Oil Research
While new satellite services have emerged tracking tankers, the diligence of Petro-logistics’ team in assessing the state of individual cargoes through extensive network are of great value-added.
R.A.

Petro-Logistics has a strong hold on Persian Gulf data. Information is usually more accurate and clean. Also for other countries like Libya, Algeria the tanker flows information is very accurate.
