Preface
The Petroleum Supply Monthly (PSM) is one of a family of four publications produced by the Petroleum Supply Division within
the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reflecting different levels of data timeliness and completeness. The other
publications are the Weekly Petroleum Status Report (WPSR), the Winter Fuels Report, and the Petroleum Supply Annual (PSA).
Data presented in the PSM describe the supply and disposition of petroleum products in the United States and major U.S.
geographic regions. The data series describe production, imports and exports, inter-Petroleum Administration for Defense (PAD)
District movements, and inventories by the primary suppliers of petroleum products in the United States (50 States and the District
of Columbia). The reporting universe includes those petroleum sectors in primary supply. Included are: petroleum refiners, motor
gasoline blenders, operators of natural gas processing plants and fractionators, inter-PAD transporters, importers, and major
inventory holders of petroleum products and crude oil. When aggregated, the data reported by these sectors approximately
represent the consumption of petroleum products in the United States.
Data presented in the PSM are divided into two sections: Summary Statistics and Detailed Statistics.
Summary Statistics
The tables and figures in the Summary Statistics section of the PSM present a time series of selected petroleum data on a U.S. level.
Most time series include preliminary. estimates for one month based on the Weekly Petroleum Supply Reporting System; statistics
based on the most recent data from the Monthly Petroleum Supply Reporting System (MPSRS); and statistics published in prior
issues of the PSM and PSA.
Detailed Statistics
The Detailed Statistics tables of the PSM present statistics for the most current month available as well as year-to-date. In most
cases, the statistics are presented for several geographic areas - - the United States (50 States and the District of Columbia), five
PAD Districts, and 12 Refining Districts. At the U.S. and PAD District level, the total volume and the daily rate of activities are
presented. The statistics are developed from monthly survey forms submitted by respondents to the EIA and from data provided
from other sources.
Appendices
Four appendices are provided to assist in understanding and interpreting the data presented in this publication:
" Appendix A (District Descriptions and Maps) -Geographic aggregations of the 50 States and the District of Columbia into
Refining Districts which make up the PAD Districts.
" Appendix B (Detailed Statistics Explanatory Notes) - Information describing data collection, sources, estimation
methodology, data quality control procedures, modifications to reporting requirements and interpretation of tables.
" Appendix C (Impact of Resubmissions) - Information on revisions to published statistics caused by resubmission of
respondent survey forms.
" Appendix D (EIA-819M, Monthly Oxygenate Telephone Report) - Preliminary information on production and stocks of fuel
ethanol and methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) by PAD District. Data are collected from a sample of respondents reporting
on the MPSRS surveys. Data are also published in the WPSR and are available electronically approximately 15 working
days after the end of the month.
Industry terminology and product definitions are listed alphabetically in the Glossary. Final statistics for the data series published
in the PSM, as well as additional data from the annual refinery and oxygenate capacity surveys are published in the PSA. The PSA
is published approximately five months after the end of the report year.
