Definition: Products or a combination of products derived from crude oil destined for further processing in the refining industry other than blending.

In general, data on stocks refer to changes in stocks at producers, importers and/or industrial consumers at the beginning and end of each year. In some cases, however, stock series have been derived on the basis of the difference between gross availabilities for transformation or consumption and official or published data on actual consumption. A positive stock change (+) reflects additions to stocks which in effect decreases 'apparent consumption'; while a negative stock change (-) creates exactly the opposite result.
