OilCrisisTracker.com is an independent, free-to-use public information resource that aggregates and presents data about global energy markets, oil prices, fuel reserves, and related topics. The Site is provided for informational and educational purposes only.

The Site uses automated systems, including artificial intelligence language models, to generate certain content such as the Daily Intelligence Briefing and country summaries. All AI-generated content is clearly labelled as such. While we take reasonable steps to ensure accuracy, AI-generated content may contain errors or inaccuracies.

Data displayed on the Site is sourced from publicly available third-party providers including Yahoo Finance, the International Energy Agency, and various news organisations. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any data displayed.

Always consult a qualified financial adviser before making investment decisions. Past performance of any commodity or market is not indicative of future results.

• Country fuel reserve data is based on publicly reported figures and may not reflect current operational reserves
• Jet fuel reserve estimates are derived from publicly available data and may differ from actual operational stocks

We encourage users to verify important information with official sources such as the International Energy Agency (IEA), the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), and national energy ministries.
