Stocks, Gas Feedstocks & Production Economics
Monitor the available Fujairah oil-product inventory readings, natural-gas assessments and regional urea production-cost estimates. Their quantities, units and dates differ; use the notes below and the individual series pages to interpret each measure.

Stocks, costs and reference prices measure different things
Fujairah inventory series are quantities in thousand barrels, not dollar prices. Weekly inventory changes refer to stocks; identical readings repeated in later daily reports are not new weekly surveys.
Gas assessments are quoted in their stated currency and energy unit. Production-cost assessments are cost estimates per product tonne. Nutrient values use the source nitrogen-unit convention. These cannot be ranked together as if they were prices for the same commodity.
Read each date and frequency independently. Open a series for its historical range, source notes and calculation details. Published cost estimates do not establish the realised margin or operating rate of any particular plant.
