Explore the oil system with a country map, capacities and dated incident evidence.
Line colours: operating inventory · inactive · planned / construction. Square markers: pumping station or pipeline assessment. Orange dot = damage history; purple dot = sanctioned operator. Select for dates and evidence. These filters apply only to pipelines and reviewed infrastructure.
Drag either handle to filter refinery and tanker incidents. Infrastructure capacities remain their dated inventory snapshots.
| Name | Country / area | Capacity or reported output | Source year / status |
|---|
Selected sourced facilities and systems, with approximate town or route reference points. Status colours describe the cited date, not current operation. No reviewed record establishes complete destruction of a station or pipeline; equipment destruction is described in its evidence card. Sanctions apply to the named operator or transaction scope, with licences shown separately.
| Facility / system | Type | Dated condition | Sanctions scope | Sources |

Refinery damage, vessel attacks, seizures and the evidence behind each report.
Filter by date, sea, region or vessel type. Named reports and separately labelled aggregate claims are sourced; this is a reviewed sample, not an exhaustive war-loss census.
Campaign totals can include unnamed vessels, repeat strikes and other ship types. They overlap the register and each other. They are displayed as attributed claims, without inventing ship identities or map positions. Campaign context stays visible; filters apply to the map and individual incident register.
S Sanctioned vessel at the incident date · open evidence for jurisdiction and listing date. Source-reported listings are labelled. A later designation is separate. Sanctions do not establish a global price effect. Read the market conclusion ↗

Measured transit volumes, not maximum physical capacity.
Current prices, the main spikes and drops, and who contributed to the pressure.
Our assessment: the main pressure is the Middle East supply shock. Restricted exports, depleted stocks and costly shipping keep oil expensive even as some production returns. Diesel faces an additional shortage of finished fuel.
Oil is still missing from the market. Gulf production remains constrained despite recovering from the worst shutdowns.
Delivery costs amplify the shortage. Longer routes and expensive freight raise the cost of oil reaching buyers.
Diesel has a separate squeeze. Fuel exports and refinery output have recovered more slowly than crude flows.
Verified targets include sanctioned tankers Kairos, Virat, Dashan and Qendil. The reviewed sources do not establish Ukrainian tanker strikes as the main driver of current global prices. They also do not establish zero market effect.
Crude: 20 October 2026 · US retail: 19 October 2026. Pump prices are US national averages, not a world average.
These vertical bars show supply shortages behind today’s pressure on prices. Each bar has its own period and comparison baseline.
The indicators overlap and must not be added. They measure missing supply in million barrels per day, not percentages of responsibility or shares of the price rise.
The current supply shock, additional fuel pressures and offsets. Responsibility for an action is distinct from a measured share of the price rise.

| Date / episode | Actors or conditions | Price channel | Evidence |

Evidence for price drivers, source-attributed incidents and the limits of causal percentages.
Observed price changes are measurable. A defensible country-by-country causal split is not available.
The reviewed sources do not estimate a reliable percentage of the oil-price rise caused by Iran, the United States, Israel, Russia or other actors. Supply losses, demand, inventories, sanctions, rerouting and expectations interact. Assigning shares that add to 100% would invent precision.
This chart counts reports in this atlas. It does not measure responsibility for fuel prices, economic damage or all attacks worldwide.
Named-vessel attack and damage reports only. Aggregate claims, unnamed groups, enforcement actions and seizures are excluded. Multiple dated incidents involving one vessel remain separate reports. Unknown or disputed attribution remains a category. Uneven research coverage can change the ranking.
| Vessel / date | Attributed actor | Evidence & sources |

Emergency stocks, the US strategic reserve and oil still underground are separate measures.
Stored barrels can bridge a disruption. Underground resources cannot be released from a tank.
Shares of the source's world total · not emergency inventories, production capacity or a price-responsibility chart.
A dated register of selected wars, policies, weather events and market shocks.
Selected documented incidents and market shocks, with historical assessments.
Downloads, observation periods, source methods and known gaps in coverage.
Project date: 22 October 2026. Each dataset keeps its own observation period.
A complete worldwide register of individual wells, daily refinery operation, verified supplier-to-refinery shipments, bilateral trade, and every damaged facility is not available in this edition. Fields and pipelines are public inventories, with missing or approximate locations and values preserved.
Retail prices reflect crude costs, refining, distribution, taxes, subsidies and exchange rates. This dashboard compares observed series; it does not estimate causal contributions or predict future prices.
1 US gallon = 3.785411784 litres. EU prices are converted from EUR per 1,000 litres using the most recent available ECB USD/EUR reference rate on or before each date. Original fuel grades and source labels remain visible.
This is a dated, sourced research snapshot. Source files, preparation scripts and data-quality records are kept with the project. A future refresh must re-download and validate observations; refreshing this page alone does not fetch new market data.
Source attribution and dataset licenses travel with the downloads. World Bank global retail fuel derivatives are offered under the Open Database License. Other datasets retain their respective source terms.
