High-Frequency Oil Production Monitor
Receive daily oil production estimates for critical oil global producers.
High-Frequency Oil Production Monitor
Access accurate production estimates and detect inflection points early
The High-Frequency Oil Production Monitor is a leading source of daily oil production data for impactful oil-producing countries across the globe.
We go beyond providing a simple on/off signal at the field or country level. We transform on/off signals into highly accurate estimates of daily production volumes for each country we monitor, providing you the actionable intelligence you need.
We generate accurate country-level production estimates and detect inflection points ahead of the market. You can access analysis of the magnitude and nature of the field-level signals alongside associated operational characteristics and production history.
Countries we cover: US, Canada, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, UAE, Kazakhstan, Venezuela, Libya, Algeria, Ghana, Angola, Azerbaijan, the Neutral Zone, Norway, UK, Denmark, Mexico, Ecuador and Peru.
Accurate
We don’t just provide the signals or an index of the signals. We transform that data into meaningful information – actual production levels.
Timely
Our data is as up-to-date as possible and you can access daily. We update the API every morning, rather than monthly like many government sources.
Unbiased and data-driven
Our product does not rely on anonymous human sources in any country.
